"Not only the most generously plotted of Murdoch's four cases, but the one whose constant reminders of mortality... are the most piercing."

Kirkus Reviews

Toronto, December 1895. Detective William Murdoch takes on the most personal case of his career when his estranged father, in prison awaiting execution for murder, calls on his son to investigate the real circumstances of the case and prove his innocence. Meanwhile, Murdoch's sister, who long ago fled to a convent to escape their abusive father, is on her deathbed, and has been harboring a secret from their childhood.

As Murdoch questions those linked to the murder trial, it soon becomes clear that almost everyone had something to hide. But does that mean the verdict was wrong?

"Jennings is too tough and honest a writer to let anyone off her moral hook, even her hero."

New York Times Book Review

"No author has mined Toronto's past... with the dedication to detail of mystery writer Maureen Jennings... Let Loose the Dogs follows Murdoch through a dense plot centred on a bloodthirsty gambling event of the era."

Toronto Star
