London's Youngest detective is backaDarkus Knightley, tweed-wearing, megabrained, fiercely logical thirteen-year-old investigator of the weird, was just getting used to having his private-eye dad back in his life.

Then Alan Knightley went off radar again, leaving Darkus with the family mutt, a traumatized exapolice dog, as his only partner in crime-solving.

Now a mysterious canine conspiracy is howling for the attention of Knightley & Son.

Shadowy trained hounds are attacking policemen at the full moon.

Family pets are being mauled by a beast at a top London tourist spot. And two curiously alert canines seem to be watching Darkus's house.

No one is using the word "werewolfa ?-yet-but it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to work out that someone or something sinister is messing with the minds of London's dog population.

Will our intrepid father-son duo make it to the next full moon?

A criminally good detective adventure, perfect for fans of Sherlock and sharp-minded sleuths of all shapes and sizes.
