announcing The Caline Conspiracy

by Margaret Yang and Harry R. Campion

writing together as M.H. Mead

Calines are the perfect pets. Smarter than border collies, elegant as cats, playful as otters, calines have been genetically engineered to be everything a pet owner could want.

But one of them may be a killer.

The world is shocked when geneticist Ivan Frithke is murdered, and his own pet caline, Madeline, is the prime suspect. Is this an isolated case, a flaw in the calines’ design, or something more? The widow doesn’t believe her darling could kill, and hires PI Aidra Scott to prove Madeline’s innocence.

Aidra wants nothing to do with animals—genetically engineered perfection or not. Losing her beloved Doberman was so painful that she’s sworn off pet ownership forever. But the more she investigates, the more Aidra becomes convinced an innocent animal is being framed, and murder is only the beginning of the conspiracy.
