Like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, Lucas JRT is best of breed in detective fiction. Famous for his intellectual prowess, scope of observation and astute reasoning, Lucas JRT is renowned for solving even the most difficult cases.

A holiday puppy that didn’t sell, Lucas came to the City of Angels from a beautiful apple farm in Missouri.* Plagued by separation anxiety as a pup, he became a student of the school of adventure when he was sent out to play group to stimulate his mind and create positive counter-conditioning.

The city’s hiking trails, dog parks and beaches captured Lucas’ imagination and helped him refine his genetic predisposition for diving into the brush, sniffing out tennis balls and problem solving in general.

His evocative writings draw from his real life experiences, masterfully conveying his eclectic environs and the diverse canine citizenry of Los Angeles.

* Speculation has been made that the apple farm was most likely a puppy mill and that Lucas journeyed west crammed into a small crate stacked in a ramshackle van or trailer.
