In OUTFOXED by David Rosenfelt, New Jersey 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.
