Old Habits

2024

Sometimes the oldest secrets are the hardest ones to keep. When retired a police detective and his dog wander into a small town in the French mountains, no one expects the trouble they will uncover. A body has been found at a nearby archaeological dig and it’s clear no one was ever supposed to find it. The locals deny all knowledge; they have no idea who it could be, but there is something disturbing about how they all give the exact same answer. And what of the archaeologists? What were they really looking for? It isn't the Stone Age settlement they claim to be after. Does everyone in this town have a secret they don’t want exposed? Together with his trusted sidekick, Albert and Rex are going to get to the bottom of the mystery. He could walk away, there’s nothing to make him investigate. But poking his nose where no one wants it is an old habit and Albert Smith has nothing better to do.

Old Fashioned

2024

It was all going so well until an old man with old fashioned ideas stuck his nose in … Amsterdam has its share of seedy criminals, just like everywhere else. Sylvia van Lidth sits atop a criminal empire providing a service to a very specific clientele … a very wealthy clientele with a particular taste. She fought to achieve her lofty status and is not about to let anything stop her. Lee Yoo, the local boss of Korea’s most ruthless crime family, has an order of high-end cars to steal. He doesn’t want to consider the consequences of failure. Arriving in the heart of Amsterdam, Albert’s only aim is to sample the local cuisine, but when his detective’s nose results in being mistaken for a thief, his faithful companion and sidekick, Rex, is taken from him. To get him back, he will have to uncover a crime ring that spans half the globe and risk not only his own life, but the lives of everyone involved, good and bad. The stakes are higher than ever, but Albert Smith has nothing left to lose. Never underestimate the bond between man and dog.
