Book excerpt: Meet Randolph. A dog like any other dog—but with a nose for murder . . . Harry is a man still mourning the loss of his beloved girlfriend, Imogen, who left him suddenly without a word. He’s also the owner of a plump, poetry-loving Lab, Randolph. Like most Manhattan dogs, Randolph spends his days sifting through a world of scents, his owner’s neuroses, and an overcrowded doggy run at the American Museum of Natural History. But now a bereft Harry has drifted into a circle of would-be occultists. Which might not be so bad if one of them wasn’t also a murderer. But which one? With 100,000 times the smelling power of a human being, Randolph can quickly detect the scents of guilt, anxiety, and avarice—and he has no lack of suspects, from a seductive con woman to an uncouth professor of the decorative arts. Now, to protect his hapless owner’s life, Randolph might have to do the unthinkable—and start training Harry to catch a killer. . . .

The two have come on board to follow clues that they hope will lead to the whereabouts of the long-lost Imogen, Randolph’s mistress and Harry’s beloved girlfriend.

Download or read book The Winslow Incident written by Elizabeth Voss and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a mysterious affliction spreads, a sleepy small town descends into madness in this “strikingly original” thriller and Daphne du Maurier Award nominee (Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Extinction). Everything seems normal in Winslow, Washington, as the tourists arrive for summer fun—the carnival in Prospect Park, the ghost-town tour—and the locals retreat to Ruby Creek to cool off. The only thing that’s unusual is the death of Pard Holloway’s cattle after a brief, strange illness. But now the disease seems to be spreading to humans. One by one, individuals deteriorate into lunacy. Seventeen-year-old Hazel Winslow, however, is perfectly healthy. That leaves her to confront the crisis on her own while her father, the sheriff, heads into the woods to hunt a fearsome creature; her boyfriend grows delusional; and ghosts invade her grandmother’s broken-down mansion. How can she reason with them when their minds aren’t functioning? And what would be worse—succumbing to the sickness, or being the last sane person left? Inspired by true events and informed by historical accounts, this modern Gothic tale evokes the mass hysteria of the Salem witch trials and the terror of the events in Pont-Saint-Esprit, France, in 1951. “Plenty of thrills.” —Kirkus Reviews
