Criminals on the Run #3

Detective King Cole goes undercover as a gardener on the palatial Perkins estate to investigate a very unusual case: the murder of Rollo, a pampered poodle who inherited forty million dollars from his eccentric owner. When the dog is found shot dead, suspicion falls on Tim Perkins, one of two cousins who stand to inherit only after Rollo's death—but King suspects the clues have been planted, and a deadly scheme is far more complicated than it appears. As chaos erupts around the estate and a masked attacker moves in the shadows, King must untangle a web of greed and deception to expose the real killer.

Kingston Cole Jr. poses as an American clockmaker to infiltrate a Swiss factory connected to an international jewel smuggling operation, but his cover is blown when guard dogs discover him prowling the grounds. Trapped inside the gang's mountain chalet with the mastermind Zappo and his European operatives, King must rely on his wits and a clever trick he planted earlier to survive the night and expose the smuggling racket.

Dr. Drew the Zoo Man and his animal-talking companion investigate a bizarre case at a wealthy mansion where a valet has been mysteriously killed—allegedly by a pink elephant—and the terrified owner fears he's next. As Inspector Snoupe and the detectives pose as servants to uncover the truth, they discover a sinister scheme involving trained animals and a plot far more dangerous than any beast. With hyenas, an elephant, and ruthless conspirators closing in, Dr. Drew must outmaneuver the criminals before another victim falls.
