Suspense for the dog lover is what Fashion Goes to the Dogs creates in this first book of the Kate Killoy Mystery series.
It’s February in New York City and the dog show is taking over Manhattan. To the beautiful twenty-four year old fashion designer Kate, that means she’ll be having the first ever show of her knitwear designs to be worn by dog fanciers. And, as a breeder and handler, she’ll be getting ready to take her grand-champion Samoyed and a friend’s German Shepherd into the ring.
Unfortunately, when a case of mistaken identity and international intrigue threatens Kate’s life, she suddenly finds that the humor of organizing her friends and their dogs to strut the runway gives way to the terror of running from murderers.
Into this chaos steps tall, handsome Harry Foyle who, with his love of period clothes, has the look of a Lord Peter Wimsey but the style that’s more Indiana Jones. A former math geek for the FBI, Harry must go undercover to keep this sassy dog nut alive. Skilled in solving problems using his brain or his gun, he discovers that protecting Kate is an equation whose solution may lead to the unexpected variable—love.
When creating the characters and settings of the Kate Killoy mysteries, author Peggy Gaffney is at home in this world. She brings more than forty years experience as a breeder and handler of champion Samoyed dogs as well as twenty years as a designer of her ‘Kanine Knits’ to be worn by dog lovers.
