Pantheon and Edelweiss let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published April 28th.

Ulf follows the man.  He eventually finds out it's not blackmail.  It's payment for promotions on his books.

Then his detective lady he has a crush on asks him to see if her husband is screwing around on her.  She found another woman's earring in his shorts.  He sees him meet up with a woman and kiss her and hold hands.  It looks like her suspicions are true.  Then something happens and he struggles to know what to tell the woman he loves...

Then his vet tells him there is a guy who brings his dogs in and they look like wolves.  He thinks the man is selling them as wolves, which is fraud.  He knows who talk to and finds the truth in that case also.

Ulf is a busy man...
