Sister Pelagia, a nun in the small Russian town of Zavolzhsk, goes to investigate the death of a prize bulldog. She is used to dealing with more human mysteries, but in this case the bulldog's owner is the Bishop of Zavolzhsk's aunt. The aunt is ill with worry for her two other dogs and believes that someone is killing them deliberately so that she will die of grief.
