Book description
In the genteel environs of Corduroy Mansions, Pimlico, strange doings
are afoot, mostly in the name of love. Lonely William French and his
faithful canine Freddie are recruited to the service of MI6 by a
beguiling lady operative, William's neighbour Caroline finds her suitor
James mysteriously lacking, and Barbara Ragg is tempted to the Highlands
by blossoming romance. Meanwhile sage psychiatrist Berthea Snark, under
normal circumstances the voice of reason, finds herself called away to
protect her brother from a band of scheming New Age fraudsters seeking
to insert themselves into the bosom of the family. Hilarious and
affectionate, The Dog Who Came In from the Cold rejoins Alexander McCall
Smith's delightful London tribe of loveable misfits and hopefuls in a
new set of adventures in life, love and philosophy. Following a
distinguished career as a Professor of Medical Law, Alexander McCall
Smith has turned to writing full-time. He is the author of over sixty
books on a wide array of subjects, and his books have been translated
into forty-five languages. He lives in Edinburgh with his wife.
