Maybe he was having a bad writing day. Maybe he wanted me to play the sap for him. Or maybe he ran into Trouble with a capital T. \u003cbr\u003e Well, Trouble's in my business. I'm a dog. I'm a detective. The name's Bud Barkin. And this book is about the case I had involving a dame named Delilah Gorbish, whom I would call Trouble with a capital T except I've used that metaphor already, and the clown named Crusty Carmady whose calling card is a teakettle that he heaves through windows. Nice pair of birds. The mystery deepens with another character called the Big Fish, who isn't really a fish and who's addicted to the Home Shopping Network. \u003cbr\u003e Hey, I don't write 'em -- I just solve 'em. \u003cbr\u003e Yours truly,\u003cbr\u003e Bud Barkin, P.E.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780689869891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Atheneum Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40936204468430,"sku":"9780689869891","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/O_fbd51ca5-f942-4ddb-b248-3b04b3359e6e.jpg?v=1645817014","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780689869891","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
