This time it's Pam's turn to deal with murder in the workplace while Haley is on summer break from teaching. As an insurance biller at Central Valley Hospital, Pam is busy dealing with irritable patients and untrustworthy coworkers. Little does she suspect that murder has been attempted - more than once. Of course, in a hospital, life and death issues are dealt with every day, but the public relations office is certainly not happy about the untimely death of one of the hospital's employees, especially as it appears someone in the hospital was involved.

The third in the Canine Capers series, The Case of the Mendacious Medicine Man has a plot twist that may catch some readers by surprise. Beset by a host of suspects all with good motives to kill, Pam and Haley must find out who actually succeeded in eliminating someone. This time Robert Lawson not only helps Haley keep her huskies happy, but he lends a hand in solving the murder. Meanwhile, Haley is planning to set up Pam with her brother's boss. For anyone who loves animals and murder mysteries, this book offers all the cute whiskers and plot turnings desired.
