"Rip-roaring fun...[a] marvelous situation comedy." --School Library Journal

Here's the book that started it all - the popular Hank the Cowdog series of books. The famed Head of Ranch Security has sold millions of books from coast to coast.

With cowdog smarts and a hero's heart, Hank defends the ranch along with his faithful deputy, Drover. In this original adventure, Hank is accused of murder. In a fit of despair, he resigns his post and joins a gang of coyote outlaws. Will he come back and save the ranch?

Join Hank - along with Drover, Pete the Barncat, Wallace and Junior the Buzzards, Rip and Snort the Coyotes, Slim the Cowboy, and others for an adventure in reading everyone will enjoy.

While investigating a vicious murder on his ranch, Hank finds himself the number one suspect. Resigning in a fit of despair, he heads for the hills to become an outlaw--but it's not as easy as he imagined.

USA Today calls the hilarious Hank the Cowdog series "...the best family entertainment in years."

Hank is a scruffy, smart-alecky super sleuth with a nose for danger and an eye for the ladies. And as Head of Ranch Security on a West Texas ranch, he's usually up to his ears in all kinds of amusing trouble. Whether he's called upon to bark up the sun, investigate suspicious goings-on, or defend the ranch against marauders, Hank's hilarious, hair-raising adventures will delight readers young and old alike.
