 There was a, ummm, either a novella or a novelette, I'm not going to
count the words myself and the book isn't handy, in one of Lackey's
Valdemar anthologies which is quite obviously a Scooby-Doo pastiche,
right down to a horse-drawn Mystery Machine which then shows up in one
of the later-published novels under a different guise.

Ye Olde Interweb says this is probably "Moving Targets", and indicates that there were other stories in this (mini)series. It's not clear if the rest of the gang appears with the protagonist (Herald Arville) in the other stories.
