The Karma of King Harald - King Harald Mysteries

When springtime arrives in picturesque New Bergen, so do the tourists and antiquers. This year, though, there are some unwelcome visitors. Extortion. Arson. And murder. After his business tanks and his wife leaves him for a Pilates coach, Andy Skyberg flees the big city for the peace and quiet of his hometown. All he wants is a decent job, a steady girlfriend, a plasma screen TV with a hundred-plus channels, and one loyal dog.
But fate has something else in store for Andy, when his big mutt King Harald starts sniffing out crime. It's clear that someone has it in for the town's New Age retailer, Trudi Bock. And it's also clear that Trudi wants to rekindle the steamy romance she and Andy enjoyed back in college. Andy has to fend her off, while placating his fiery girlfriend, Deputy Sheriff Cass Conlin. Meanwhile, Harald keeps digging up more mayhem.
And it falls to Andy to channel his inner sleuth and make sense of it all. Throw into this mix one legendary (but lost) ebelskiver recipe.a gimlet-eyed church lady.a van full of federal agents.a crusty socialist.a beloved iguana.and an overabundance of rosemaling.And you have all the makings for The Karma of King Harald.
