Part of Series

Zack and Jillian are making plans to build their dream home, and to get started, the old farmhouse where they’ve been living is being razed. Things get a little complicated when the first bulldozer cut reveals a secret chamber under the existing house. What is the previously unknown space doing on his property, how long has it been there, and who arranged to hide it in that particular foundation? And—most mysteriously—how did a Civil War era sword and other old artifacts get there? From the moment the corgis see the old artifact, Sherlock takes an interest and lets Zack know there’s a mystery here, one he and his canine companions will be working to solve! Readers are loving these indomitable dog sleuths. Meet Zack and the corgis, Sherlock and Watson, in this delightfully humorous series that pulls you right in.
