At the Loomis Estate, every secret has its price. Jane Ashcroft is starting over in Old Saybrook, Connecticut—new town, new job, same rules: stay quiet, stay useful, stay unnoticed. Her newest client, the Loomis family, resides in a vast estate along the coast, and nothing about them feels ordinary. The matriarch is elegant and exacting. The staff, formal and watchful. And then there’s Graham—the disarming grandson with a sailor’s charm and a past Jane can’t quite decode. She knows better than to get involved. But the pull is real.

Meet Pete, a depressed misanthrope with a dry sense of humor and questionable morals. His life takes a chaotic turn when Kim—his semi-friend, semi crush—introduces him to her new partner, Ben.

Jane Ashcroft swore she was done with the life that once defined her—heists, forgeries, the rush of stealing priceless art. In Santa Fe, she finally tastes something like peace: quiet mornings walking dogs, evenings with her trusted dog Fable and her ally R, and the illusion of an ordinary future. Then her old friend, Margot, lures her back. The job is irresistible: a single painting worth tens of millions, and the dangerous thrill Jane thought she’d left behind.

The first story collection from prize-winning author Fabio Morábito available in English, Mothers and Dogs features fifteen tales that show the emotional extremes in seemingly trivial details and quotidian situations: two brothers worry more about a dog locked in an apartment who hasn’t been fed than they do about their dying mother; when the lights go out on a racetrack, a man’s evening jog turns into a savage battle between runners; a daughter learns to draft business letters as an homage to her mother.
