Description for Larry and the Dog People Paperback. Num Pages: 320 pages. BIC Classification: FF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 129. .

Larry MaCabe is a man who needs people more than most . . . The problem for Larry is that most people have little need for him.

Larry MacCabe is a retired academic, a widower, and until a chance meeting with the administrator of a care home, also friendless. At her suggestion, he adopts a Basset Hound and joins her one Saturday at the local park. He becomes a regular visitor, and for the first time in his life the member of a gang. While his new companions prepare for the annual Blessing of the Animals service on the Feast Day of St Francis, Larry puts the finishing touches to a conference paper he's due to present in Jerusalem and arranges a house-sitter. Neither the service nor his visit to Israel go to plan, and on his return Larry is charged with conspiring to blow up a church and complicity in the deaths of four people. All that stands between him and conviction is a personal injury lawyer - and things for Larry aren't looking good...

About J P Henderson
J Paul Henderson was born and grew up in Bradford, West Yorkshire, gained a Master's degree in American Studies and travelled to Afghanistan. He worked in a foundry, as a bus conductor, trained as an accountant and then, when the opportunity to return to academia arose, left for Mississippi, returning four years later with a doctorate in 20thC US History and more knowledge of Darlington Hoopes than was arguably necessary. (Hoopes was a Pennsylvanian socialist and the last presidential candidate of the American Socialist Party).

Reviews for Larry and the Dog People
an interesting and entertaining book and well worth reading
Sally Clifford
Telegraph and Argus
With a brilliant combination of tragedy, humour and lawbreaking, Henderson spins such tantalising twists that you'll find yourself astonished when you least expect to be - you have to read this remarkably different tale to believe it
Nell Young
Culture Fly
The fun here is the interactions among these offbeat characters, the crazy situations that ensue, and Larry's ultimate evolution from a self involved academic into a caring, fully dimensional person
