    [synopsis] => "A charming mystery." - Publishers Weekly on book one in the Dr. Bannerman Vet Mystery series		
	It's springtime in rural Manitoba, and the snow has finally left the exotic animal farm when an ostrich finds and swallows a shiny object. (Because this is what ostriches do.) Cue veterinarian and amateur sleuth Dr. Peter Bannerman, who surgically removes the object, which looks like an ancient Viking artifact. Soon after, people around are horrified by a series of animal mutilations. This sets Peter, and his talented sniffer dog, Pippin, on the hunt for answers. Peter begins to suspect a link between the Viking artifact, the mutilations, and a shadowy group of white supremacists on the internet.		
	Before long Peter and Pippin are in over their heads, and the only way for them to get out alive will be to unmask the mastermind before they end up among their victims.				 			Veterinarian Dr. Peter Bannerman and his sniffer dog, Pippin, are back to solve a mystery involving a series of animal mutilations, a Viking artifact, and a shadowy group in the small town of New Selfoss.		 			
	Philipp Schott was born in Germany and grew up in Saskatoon. He now lives in Winnipeg, where he practices veterinary medicine, writes, and shares a creaky old house on the river with his wife, two teenagers, three cats, and a dog. His first book, The Accidental Veterinarian, was a bestseller and was translated into five languages.

•	PRAISE FOR THE DR. BANNERMAN VET MYSTERY SERIES:

		

		
•	"Original, well-constructed, with a cast of interesting characters - I hope this isn't the last we'll read about Dr. Peter Bannerman and Pippin." - Ian Hamilton, author of the Ava Lee series
•	"Meet a very welcome addition to Canada's fictional crime-busters: amateur sleuth Peter Bannerman, beloved veterinarian and tea connoisseur, with his clever sniffer-dog associate, Pippin. Philipp Schott's small-town Manitoba characters are wonderfully engaging and entertaining, and his writing is almost as Nordic as the town, spare, humorous, and gripping by turns. Deadly and delightful, Fifty-Four Pigs is a delicious read with some of the most beautiful descriptions of a prairie winter anywhere." - Iona Whishaw, author of the Lane Winslow Mystery series
