The next novel in David Rosenfelt's clever, humorous mystery
series featuring lawyer Andy Carpenter and his faithful dog,
Tara.
Defense lawyer Andy Carpenter spends as much time as he can
working on his true passion, the Tara Foundation, the dog
rescue organization he runs. Lately, Andy has been especially
involved in a county prison program where inmates help train
dogs the Tara Foundation has rescued to make them more
adoptable, benefiting both the dogs and the prisoners.
One of
the prisoners Andy has been working with is Brian Atkins, who
has 18 months left on a 5-year term for fraud. Brian has been
helping to train Boomer, an adorable fox terrier the Tara
Foundation rescued from a neglectful owner. Brian and Boomer
are clearly a terrific match. In fact, Andy hopes that Brian
will adopt Boomer himself, once his sentence is up. But one
day, Andy arrives at the prison to discover that Brian has
used Boomer to make an ingenious escape, and man and dog are
both in the wind.
The next day, the man on whose testimony
Brian was convicted is found murdered. Brian is caught and
arrested for the crime, though he forcefully protests his
innocence. Suddenly, Andy finds himself with a new client in
Brian and a new dog in Boomer. And as he starts to dig deeper
into the murder and the events leading up to it, Andy realizes
he might be putting them all in far more danger than anyone
had realized.
