The Big Chihuahua

Pepe the talking Chihuahua can't help wagging his tail when he teams up with PI Geri Sullivan to sniff out an elusive killer.

PI Geri Sullivan and her talking Chihuahua, Pepe, are always hungry to sink their teeth into a new case. So if helping a hapless husband win back his wayward wife means sneaking into a cult of dog-worshippers, porque no?

Inside the believers' rural retreat, Pepe perks up his ears when the charismatic leader pegs him as the next incarnation of the spirit Dogawanda. But the discovery of a body, murdered between mantras, suggests there's more chicanery than channeling going on in this suspicious sect. While wild wolves howl, a killer is on the prowl—and it's up to Geri and her canine compadre to dig up the dirt.
