The Evil That Men Do (2011)
“The dog, full of food, settled himself comfortably between us, and soon began to snore softly.
I sternly refused to give in to his obvious charm. He wasn’t our dog. And Sam and Emmy would have forty fits if we brought him home. However, this wasn’t the time to quarrel about it. We had more pressing issues.

There are lots of leads they can follow up that we can’t, or not nearly as effectively.’ ‘I’m surprised to hear you admit that the police can do their job better than you can.’ Oh, dear. He was still sulking about the dog. Amazing how like a little boy a man of seventy can be at times. I hurried on. ‘I’ve never claimed to be better than the police at their job.
