About the Book

Book Synopsis



Missing jewelry, a false accusation, and a real thief. Shamus the Urban Rez Dog, P.I. is on the case.

The name's Shamus. I'm a special kind of dog known as a Rez Dog. That means I'm a mix of different breeds and I come from a reserve. I live in the city with Mom and the twins, Rainey and Cole. We are one of many Indigenous families on our block.

Life is great -- until Mom is falsely accused of stealing from the jewelry store she's worked at for years. When the kids and I set out to catch the real thief, we discover some surprising and, if I do say so myself, hilarious clues -- including a false wall, a lucky bowling ball, and a vicious poodle named Hepzibah!
