In Vicious Dogs, Henry Brock takes us on a tour of Toronto's seedy underbelly while reinventing the hardboiled noir. The first (of, I hope, many) Derek Lasker Investigations delivers a whip-crack plot and devilish humor that?goes down like a tall can of Molson's after a plate of poutine. ?

Derek Lasker may consider himself a private investigator, but he
hasn't worked in months. He lives in a fleabag motel and spends his
days wondering how his life became such a complete disaster. He is
shocked when his mobile phone rings with an offer of a case.
Within twenty minutes Derek is meeting with Bob Linehan Sr., who found
a headless cat in his backyard. He believes his potentially psychotic
teenaged son, Bob Jr., killed it. He wants Derek to follow Bob Jr.
and make sure he doesn't commit worse crimes. Despite the risk that
emerges when Bob Sr. admits that his son has a closet full of knives,
Derek takes the job with an eye on the money.
The case takes a grl3$
