LET SLEEPING DOGS DIE
Writer:
Adapted by Carey Harrison (A 6
part story)
Bognor
and Monica are assigned to
investigate shady goings – on
at a world famous dog show.
Clues point to show judge Percy
Pocklington being somehow
implicated in the mystery, but
Bognor believes that the

more likely suspect. Whatever,
whenever Bognor is around,
things have a tendency to turn
nasty.
