The Farnsworth Murders

Someone is killing Abagail Farnsworth's expensive Scottish terriers, so she hires a struggling detective to investigate.
Desperate for money, Alexander Moses reluctantly begins his investigation, a case soon considered childlike and comedic by his former police partner.
First efforts prove fruitless, futile and discouraging, and soon it becomes clear that something more sinister is involved.
Sibling rivalry and cloudy backgrounds muddy the waters, and a secret from the past threatens the family name and fortune, even murder.
And Moses is the only one who can prevent it.
