    Frank Bell

    eBook (Acorn Independent Press, Feb. 12, 2015)
    Hello, the name's Bone, James Bone, and I'm just the dog to get you out of trouble. Me and my other canine friends are busy working behind the scenes on top-secret missions to keep this great nation of ours safe. We risk our paws all over the globe so that you good people can carry on in a civilised society. And after a hard day's work protecting our green and pleasant land, I like to relax with my owner and celebrate with a dish of water, shaken not stirred. You humans don't know how lucky you are to have us coming to the rescue. Of course humans do have their place, especially our politician owners, but some jobs are just too big... they can only be sorted by CI6 (Canine Intelligence agency). One such job was rescuing Her Royal Majesty the Queen when she was kidnapped without a trace...
