Clay Bay is celebrating its annual Parade of Pirates festivities, and Suzy and Josie have all the dogs from the Inn involved. But when one of the local banks is robbed, and a mysterious man is found dead in the bank vault, a series of events unfold that brings Suzy face to face with the bizarre Winters family. And if dealing with the members of the Winters family weren’t enough to stretch her to the limits, the arrival of the dead man’s psychotic girlfriend along with Josie’s relationship problems have Suzy beginning to question her own personality and personal demons.
From the cankerous matriarch to the obnoxious brothers to the Goth Geisha Girl, Caspian, an artist with a list of personal demons that leaves Suzy scratching her head and thanking her lucky stars, the Winters family proves to be a force to be reckoned with. Along with the newly installed chief of police, Suzy is determined to figure out what’s going on as well as find a home for the gorgeous French Bulldog who’s been forced to deal with a few demons of his own.
The Parade Of Pirates is a fun time for all in Clay Bay, this year (for the first time), there will be a parade of the dogs from the Doggy Inn, with the hope that some of them will be adopted. As they are relaxing later that evening they hear an explosion and find that someone has blown open the local bank, and more to the point all the safe deposit boxes! That would be bad enough but the dead body and a frantic French Bulldog add to the drama. When the body is identified and his family informed they appear to be totally unconcerned, apparently he was the black sheep of the family (in that he actually wanted to help people and use the family vast fortune to help, rather than just amassing more money!), now Suzy can't help herself and starts to dig again, but has she bitten off too much this time?
