Summary
PI Bernie Little and his canine companion Chet hear that next door neighbour Mr. Parsons is under investigation for being in possession of a saguaro cactus, illegally transplanted from the desert. Is it possible that such a lovely old couple… have a terrible secret in their past? Chet and Bernie investigate and discover bad things going on in the wilderness, far worse that cactus smuggling, and all connected to a strange but innocent-seeming desert festival called Arrow Bright. They unearth leads that take them back to a long-ago kidnapping that may not have been a kidnapping, and threaten a ruthless and charismatic criminal with a cult following. Sequel to “Paws and order”. 2015.
