Case of the Watchful Wings

When a mysterious gray cat delivers a cryptic note to the detective office on Treat Avenue, Meet me tonight. Bring no pigeons, Bug and Feetie know their next case has arrived. But nothing could prepare them for what follows.Henley, the gentlest Dutch Shepherd in Biscuit Bay, has been accused of destroying the beloved Paws and Pages Community Center...a place where he volunteers every day, reading stories to children and shelving books with his enormous, careful paws. The evidence seems overwhelming: his paw prints cover the crime scene, his fur clings to the torn books, and a can of his favorite tuna sits in the wreckage like a signature.But Bug notices something the rest of the city missed. The paw prints are too perfect. The scent evidence is too uniform. And the most popular dog in Biscuit Bay, the charismatic Director Sable, found the evidence suspiciously fast.As Bug and Feetie dig deeper, they uncover a surveillance network unlike anything they've encountered: trained pigeons equipped with miniature cameras, watching every corner of the city from the rooftops. Someone has turned Biscuit Bay's most overlooked residents into an airborne spy ring, and that someone has been studying Henley for weeks.With the help of Razz, a brave young pigeon who breaks ranks to reveal the truth, and Whisper, a mysterious cat who has been investigating from the shadows for months, Bug and Feetie race to expose a web of financial fraud, manufactured evidence, and betrayed trust before a rigged council hearing exiles an innocent dog forever.The Case of the Watchful Wings is the second book in the Bark Noir Mysteries series. Packed with the same wit, warmth, and page-turning suspense as The Case of the Missing Pippa, this new adventure explores what happens when the whole world believes a lie...and two small detectives have the courage to stand up for the truth.Featuring Bug's sharp deductions, Feetie's hilarious observations (and impressive snack logistics), the return of fan favorites Mags and Gerald, plus a cast of unforgettable new characters, this is a mystery about courage, integrity, and the quiet power of believing in someone when nobody else will.For readers of all ages.
