Mass. writer's latest mystery: Where's Tessa his rescue beagle? Search attracts wide attention
• BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) -- There's a new mystery on Dennis Lehane's mind, but the story isn't something the best-selling author can control from behind a keyboard.
• The plot kicked off Christmas Eve, when the crime novelist's rescue beagle Tessa escaped from his yard after an outdoor gate latch didn't lock all the way.
• Since then, Lehane's family has launched an all-out search. They've posted fliers, organized foot searches and used social media to try to bring Tessa back to their home in Brookline, Mass., near Boston.
• The 47-year-old author of books including "Mystic River" and "Gone, Baby, Gone" is offering a monetary reward and has said he'll name a character in his next book after whoever finds Tessa.
• Lehane said Thursday outside his home that he's surprised by the media attention the story has attracted, and thinks it has something to do with the character offer.
