Book
Larry MacCabe is a retired academic, a widower, and, until a chance meeting with Ms Parker, the administrator of a care home he's no longer allowed to visit, he's also without associates. At her suggestion, he adopts a Bassett Hound and joins Ms Parker and her friends at Georgetown's Volta Park one Saturday. As the Dog People prepare for the annual Blessing of the Animals service, Larry puts the finishing touches to his paper on the Desert Land Act of 1877 and arranges for Wayne Trout, a challenged young man he's met and befriended in the park, to house-sit while he delivers his paper in Jerusalem. Neither the service nor his visit to Israel go to plan, and on his return Larry is charged with conspiring to blow up a church and complicity in the deaths of four people. All that stands between him and conviction is a personal injury lawyer called Osmo McNulty - and things for Larry aren't looking good.
