The new novel of the series, included in the New York Times bestseller list! The most unusual pair of detectives since the legendary “K-9”. After all, “Sherlock Holmes” in it is Chet, a mongrel with multi-colored ears, a dog with a talent for detective. Well, private detective Bernie Little is just “Dr. Watson” with his brilliant four-legged business partner. Under the cover of darkness, the trained elephant Peanut, the main star of a traveling circus, is kidnapped! But what are the criminals going to do with her? And Chet and Bernie are also perplexed: how the kidnappers managed to take her out of the circus menagerie, if the guard swears that he did not notice anything suspicious? Should you trust the guard? After all, he could have been bribed or intimidated... Maybe it would be better to listen to the gymnast who claims that at night a large trailer drove out of the circus territory in an unknown direction? Coincidence? Or is there a clue?
