In the stinking mud of a great tidal river, a body lies half submerged. Sir Tommy Best, adored British actor, has fallen to his death through a hole in the walkway above. The saintly Sir Tommy was friend to the starving and penniless, to kings and stars. He was also totally blind and reliant on his brilliant guide dog, Suzy. But she is nowhere to be found. It seems unimaginable that Suzy would have led him into danger, so is it murder? And where is she? When she finally turns up, it is only to deepen the mystery. She is stressed and tense and soon Chief Superintendent 'Fatso' and Detective Chief Inspector Ned realise that only one person in the force can possibly help. Kate, police dog handler extraordinaire, known affectionately as the Dog Tart, suggests they find Nick Parsons, who trained Suzy, in the hope that he can get the dog to lead them to the truth. The search for Nick Parsons culminates in a highly unusual plan, in which Ned will become blind for one night and with Suzy the guide dog, re-enact Sir Tommy Best's last fateful walk. The truth which they uncover is utterly horrible.

Klappentext

A body half submerged in the stinking mud of a tidal river - one of the most famous men in the world has apparently fallen to his death. But Sir Tommy Best was not only a great actor. He was also completely blind.

So where is his legendary seeing dog, Suzy? Why would she lead him into danger? And why did she run?

Under mounting pressure, the police turn to two of their most idiosyncratic talents: Ned Bale, a cop with the knack of solving the unsolvable and Kate Baker, supremely gifted police dog handler. If Sir Tommy's last walk was not what it seemed, then his brilliant guide dog is the only witness.

Unputdownable - with characters you won't forget - here is an exceptional crime novel.
