Justice has short legs... but it can run for miles.
In the sun-bleached New Mexico Territory, the law is only eight inches off the ground.
Dusty Gulch is no place for the faint of heart. It’s a town of grit, gold, and a growing conspiracy that reaches all the way to the Mayor’s office. When a string of mysterious horseshoe thefts turns into a web of murder and political corruption, the human lawmen find themselves at a dead end.
Enter Danny and Scrotum: The shortest law dogs in the West.
Danny is a mahogany, smooth-haired Dachshund who lives by the badge. Stoic, professional, and possessor of a nose that can smell a guilty conscience at a hundred paces, he’s the anchor of the Dusty Gulch Sheriff’s office.
Scrotum is his partner-a luxurious, long-haired dachshund with a razor-sharp wit and a snore like a ten-stamp ore mill. He might be scrappy, but his loyalty is as deep as the canyons of the High Sierra.
Together, these Special Investigators must navigate a world built for "tall" dogs. From the shadows beneath the town boardwalks to the dangerous mesquite-choked ranch lands, they’ll use their "Eight Inches of Authority" to sniff out the truth.
Blending the gritty noir of Louis L’Amour with the sharp-witted satire of animal adventure, The Lowdown at Dusty Gulch is a Western mystery unlike any you’ve ever read.
