A man is discovered dead in an unlocked room in the English countryside, shot in the head, with all evidence suggesting a recent visitor as the culprit. The presence of a tarot card, The Eight of Swords, adds an intriguing layer to the mystery, hinting at themes of justice and fate. This seemingly straightforward crime scene invites deeper investigation, as the characters unravel the true story behind the murder and the significance of the clue left by the killer.

Born a runt, Rascal is destined to be an underdog. Despite what looked like an unbreakable bond with the daughter of the family who bred her, Rascal’s devotion is discarded when she finds herself left roadside, with nothing but a few pieces of kibble to help her survive. Abandoned and alone, Rascal must learn to fend for herself and embark on a harsh and dangerous journey through the mountain wilderness of Southern California. Along the way, she encounters strangers who teach her about the good and bad of humans. But will she ever find a home that lasts? A Dog of Many Names is a courageous story of survival, seen through the eyes of an unforgettable dog, struggling between her greatest needs—to find her own strength, and to love and be loved.

The narrative centers on Douglas Green's reflections on his late dog, Shirelle, who imparted invaluable life lessons through her unique and humorous behavior. This heartfelt tribute explores themes of the human-animal bond, encouraging readers to embrace life fully and view the world from different perspectives. The second edition features a new foreword by Dr. Barrie M. Sands, adding further depth to the exploration of these philosophical and spiritual insights inspired by Shirelle's simple yet profound wisdom.
