well, this is interesting though I just realized this news two years late...

I interviewed this guy for his first two books in his Chet and Bernie series but at that point his real identity wasn't known yet. I'll be interviewing him in December by email about his two new books, one of which is the latest in the series (which has the fun angle of a dog as a narrator - his human companion is a private eyes so it's private detective work from the dog's perspective leading to fun word play like when a "red herring" is mentioned Chet (the dog) gets really confused.
Here's an excerpt/chapter 1 of the next dog book.http://books.simonandschuster.co...

Anyway it's been revealed the author of the series is Peter Abrahams working under a pseudonym. Details on that here:

Robbie Forester and the Outlaws of Sherwood Street
