The Dogs of Babel is about Paul Iverson, a linguistics professor whose wife, Lexy, is found dead in their backyard, at the foot of their giant apple tree. It's unclear whether Lexy fell or jumped from the tree, and the only witness to her death was the couple's dog, a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Lorelei. Paul becomes obsessed with finding out the details of Lexy's death and decides to see if he can teach Lorelei to communicate, so that she can tell him how Lexy died.
