This case is really going to the dogs... After I try a little off-the-books interrogation to locate my selkie almost-boyfriend's nearly-ex-husband (don't ask, it's complicated), I'm in the doghouse again with my bosses, who bust me back to surveillance. Ugh. So when another human inexplicably storms into Quest Investigations--something our security spells ought to prevent since I'm supposed to be the only human admitted to our offices--I'm reduced to staking out local fast food restaurants to check out the guy's alleged sighting of a giant, glowing-eyed, dumpster-diving spectral hound. Ridiculous, right? Humiliating, too, not to mention boring. But at least they didn't fire me. Imagine my surprise when there actually is a giant, glowing-eyed, dumpster-diving spectral hound--one of the Cwn Annwn, Herne the Hunter's traitor-tracking dog pack, to be exact. Jeez, who let this dog out? It's my case, though, so it's up to me--Matt Steinitz, aka Hugh Mann--to return him to Faerie. But while Herne's normally hopping kennels are inexplicably unpopulated by pups, they're playing host to one extremely dead body. Uh oh. Looks like someone's bite was a lot worse than their bark. Guess my love life will have to take a back seat again while we nose out the truth. Dammit. The Hound of the Burgervilles is the second in the Quest Investigations M/M mystery series, a spinoff of E.J. Russell's Mythmatched paranormal rom-com story world. It contains no on-page sex or violence, and although there is a romantic subplot, it is not technically a romance (unless you like really slow burn). The series is best read in order.
