New York 1926. Penelope "Pen" Banks's neighbor, Mrs. Dorothy Abernathy, has vanished. At first, all indications suggest the lonely widow may have done herself in, despite the lack of a body. But why didn't she provide for her beloved Dalmatians, Dot and Dash? That little wrinkle is enough for Penelope to suspect something more sinister is afoot. With the help of Mrs. Abernathy's cheerful dog minder, Alice Winterfort, they dig deeper. Soon enough, Pen learns her neighbor wasn't quite so lonely after all, and in fact had a rather robust romantic life. With no less than four possible suitors on her plate, there are numerous suspects to choose from. So, which of her not-so-secret admirers may have killed her?
