The Kennel Murder Case is a 1933 murder mystery novel, written by S. S. Van Dine, with fictional detective Philo Vance investigating a complex locked room mystery. One of the Coe brothers is found dead in his bedroom, locked from the inside, the other brother is found the next morning dead in the downstairs closet. There is the clue of a wounded Doberman Pinscher, a mysteriously broken piece of priceless Chinese porcelain, a cast of suspicious family members and associates. Philo Vance solves the case based on his knowledge of dog breeding, Chinese porcelain and the annals of remarkable antique crimes. See The Kennel Murder Case A Warner Bros. film version of The Kennel Murder Case appeared in 1933. The film was directed by Michael Curtiz and starred William Powell as Philo Vance, reprising the role after appearing as Vance in three earlier films for Paramount, Mary Astor as Hilda Lake, the victims' niece. Many film historians consider it one of the greatest screen adaptations of a Golden Age mystery novel, rank it with the 1946 film Green for Danger.

The Kennel Murder Case was remade by Warners in 1940 as Calling Philo Vance with James Stephenson as Vance and William Clemens directing. World War II-era espionage stood in for the skulduggery of the art world in the remake. According to the 1936 introduction to the novel, in the omnibus Philo Vance Murder Cases, the two halves were written nearly a year apart. Several real-life friends of author S. S. Van Dine appear as themselves in the second half of the novel. "Though dogs can be dangerous in life and in detection, this imbroglio by the precious and pedantic Van Dine is rather better than the rest of those written after 1930. It is a locked-room murder, there are clues, Vance is not obnoxious beyond endurance." 1933, U. S. Charles Scribner's Sons, Pub date 1933, Hardcover 1946, U. S.
