Maddie and her friends must solve the case of the cursed dog show in this first book of the Madison Steele Mystery series.

Madison is excited to watch her aunt's border collie, Chance, compete in the upcoming Vancouver Canine Fanciers Dog Show. But when someone releases dogs from their kennels to run freely through the venue, Aunt Dee pleads with Maddie and her friends to investigate.

When a champion poodle is dyed a bright shade of pink and the agility trial is turned into a perilous obstacle course, Maddie worries she's running out of time. With the help of her friends Kris and Jamie, Maddie must figure out who's trying to sabotage the dog show, and why, before it's too late.
