Gorgeous new TV tie-in edition of Maureen Jennings's immensely popular Inspector Murdoch series, basis for the long-running The Murdoch Mysteries, now on CBC.
In Let Loose the Dogs, Detective Murdoch's life and work overlap tragically. His sister, who long ago fled to a convent to escape their abusive father, is on her deathbed. Meanwhile, Harry Murdoch, the father whom Murdoch long ago shut out of his life, has been charged with murder and calls on his estranged son to prove his innocence. But, knowing his father, what is Murdoch to believe?
"No author has mined Toronto's past . . . with the dedication to detail of mystery writer Maureen Jennings. . . . Let Loose the Dogs follows Murdoch through a dense plot centred on a bloodthirsty gambling event of the era." - Toronto Star
"Jennings is too tough and honest a writer to let anyone off her moral hook, even her hero." - New York Times Book Review
"Perhaps [the] darkest and most complex novel in this well-received Victorian series." - Publishers Weekly
"The most generously plotted of Murdoch's four cases, but the one whose constant reminders of mortality . . . are the most piercing." - Kirkus Reviews
