Dandy and the Dognappers: A Victorian San Francisco Novella: Victorian San Francisco Mystery

By M. Louisa Locke

It is the fall of 1882, and dogs are disappearing from the streets of San Francisco at an alarming rate. Could they be victims of an over-zealous pound keeper or are they being stolen and then returned for a hefty ransom? Once more, the intrepid Boston Terrier Dandy and his young friends are on the case. The events in this novella come immediately after the events in Mrs. Stein Solves a Crime: A Victorian San Francisco Novella.
