In London, a murder victim had a bite on her neck so the media dubbed the killer The Rottweiler”, but that is so far from the truth about this murderer for the next two fatalities failed to include the bite.

The police investigate everyone associated with Inez especially the boarders who reside in a home owned by Inez. Still the killer is clever making no mistakes as the count rises and the collectables show up in her shop. Inez wonders which one of her boarders, friends, or customers is the Rottweiler as she decides she must uncover this serial killer who has made her life a notorious mess before he or she adds her to the count.
