Minotaur/Thomas Dunne Books: The Dog Park Club by Cynthia Robinson.
About the book, from the publisher:
A noir tale of dogs, murder, and purple fleece jackets.Read an excerpt from The Dog Park Club.
Max Bravo is vain, arch, brittle, and bored. His opera career has stalled out on the mid-tier. His hobby — debauchery — has become routine. And there's not enough fairy dust in the world to change the fact that, after a thirty-year adolescence, Max is finally middle-aged. But when Max becomes enmeshed with the eccentric regulars at a Berkeley dog park, he finds himself swept along into a bumbling, keystone chase to corner the murderer of a beautiful and beguiling young woman.
