Resumen del Editor

A homeless hero with the crime-solving skills of Sherlock Holmes.

Not every hero lives in a mansion or works from a smoky, hard-boiled office. Enter Barker, a mysterious man with no memory of his past. Ferociously handsome and acutely observant, Barker makes his home under the soggy planks of Old Fisherman's Wharf along California's foggy Central Coast. His closest friends are an assortment of stray dogs, ranging from a large Rottweiler to a tiny Shih-Tzu, who live with him. Adventure and intrigue have an uncanny knack for crossing Barker's path.

In this first entry of the series; Bernie, Barker’s sole human friend, bestows his makeshift home upon the man and his dogs just before dropping dead. It’s up to Barker to honor Bernie’s last wish, to atone for his sins, which doesn’t prove to be an easy task. Meanwhile, forces are at work in other parts of the fog-swept city, which will lead the homeless detective and his dogs to a deadly confrontation in the heart of Monterey Bay itself.

This was very entertaining. It's hard to imagine someone as selfless as Barker, and so perceptive of their surroundings. The dogs stole my heart. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review . The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Homeless Man with High Observent Skills

This is a unusual take on a man who picks up on clues because he is quite observant. The main character travels around with a pack of dogs, who listen to him extremely well.
Narrator does a good job with the characters and Storyline.
