"June 5th, 2011. The streets of Athens are draped in a thick fog of tension. Hundreds of thousands of activists line the streets to protest the bankrupt government's austerity measures. Riot police patrol the crowd and set up barricades across key intersections. A toothless vagrant scrambles to stay ahead of his past, a young couple struggles to piece their relationship back together, and a killer realizes too late that his number is up. Over the course of 48 hours, they will navigate a labyrinth of sex shows and dive bars, mob fronts and punk shows, fighting both their inner demons and the very real demon stalking the streets with a machine gun in his bag: a sociopathic hitman dressed to the nines and obsessed with JFK."--Page 4 of cover.

Tom Loxley, an Indian-Australian professor, is less concerned with finishing his book on Henry James than with finding his dog, who is lost in the Australian bush. Joining his daily hunt is Nelly Zhang, an artist whose husband disappeared mysteriously years before Tom met her. Although Nelly helps him search for his beloved pet, Tom isn't sure if he should trust this new friend. Tom has preoccupations other than his book and Nelly and his missing dog, mainly concerning his mother, who is suffering from the various indignities of old age. He is constantly drawn from the cerebral to the primitive -- by his mother's infirmities, as well as by Nelly's attractions. The Lost Dog makes brilliant use of the conventions of suspense and atmosphere while leading us to see anew the ever-present conflicts between our bodies and our minds, the present and the past, the primal and the civilized.

Sometimes the bond between human and dog seems to reach beyond the natural world. This true and personal story shares an example of that bond. Author Jim Blickenstaff was a mailman who had long since given up on getting another dog, believing that the ends of their short lives were too painful for him to bear again. One day, while walking on his route, he happened to meet a very special dog who appeared to be lost. The dog had no collar and no tag-and what's more, it was intent on following Jim home. He took care of the dog, which he called Scooter, and also searched for its owner. But he never imagined how much the lost dog would change his life-or that Scooter would bring a measure of peace to Jim's dying father. In this illustrated true story, one man tells the tale of an apparent chance encounter with a dog that illustrates the lasting connection between human and canine.
