Metzger's Dog: A Novel

The much-loved comic thriller by the author of the Edgar Awardâ€“winning The Butcherâ€™s Boy is now, by popular demand, back in print, featuring a new Introduction by bestselling author Carl Hiaasen.

When Leroy â€œChineseâ€ Gordon breaks into a professorâ€™s lab at the University of Los Angeles, heâ€™s after some pharmaceutical cocaine, worth plenty of money. Instead, he finds the papers the professor has compiled for the CIA, which include a blueprint for throwing a large city into chaos. But how is the CIA to be persuaded to pay a suitable ransom, unless of course someone actually uses the plan to throw a large city into chaosâ€”Los Angeles, for instance? Assigned to cope with the crisis and restore the peace, veteran agent Ben Porterfield steps onto the scene to remind us that the CIAâ€™s middle name is, after all, Intelligence. Enlivening the mix are Gordonâ€™s beautiful girlfriend, Margaret, his temperamental cat, Dr. Henry Metzger, and Metzgerâ€™s friend, an enormous half-wild dog with huge teeth.
