Boris is a mop-haired spaniel with views (which he's rarely slow to express); Rory is the thinking dog's man. Rory has arrived in London and needs a job. Boris doubts he'll find one.
Wrong. Along comes Barney, the billionaire from Queensland. But what's Barney's real game? Certainly, it's subtle. Will Boris - or Rory - be able to thwart him? If they do, how will Barney react? Remember: he's Australian.
Then there's Rory's love life: the dating site hardly plain sailing. There is, though, Greta, his landlady's sister. How very concerned she is when he gets that horrid injury...
It's a bumpy ride for Boris on the love front too. He's met the beautiful mop-haired Elodie, but will they get it together? Elodie's owner seems to want them to. She's the French screen sensation Gabrielle Chantal.
It all comes to a head on a rainswept moor in Scotland. There...a hut. And a gallows.
A gripping tale. But the book's more than just a good read. From public schools and politicians to the Royal Family, it's a joyous send-up of Britain's Establishment.
P. D. Innes is a former soldier and businessman and chairman of the John Innes Foundation (a charity supporting plant science research - almost any gardener will know the name).
A Dog Called Boris' is his first book. After living and working in Scotland for many years, he now lives in Oxfordshire.
