A lawyer by day-and then only when he's forced to take on
new cases-Andy Carpenter's true passion is the Tara
Foundation, the dog rescue organization he runs with his
friend Willie Miller. So it's frightening when Willie calls
him to say the alarm has gone off at the foundation
building, and there's clearly been a break-in. It turns out
that a recently rescued dog, nicknamed Cheyenne since her
arrival at the foundation, has been stolen. Andy and Willie
track the missing dog to a house in downtown Paterson, New
Jersey and sure enough, they find the dog...standing right
next to a dead body. The man had been gruesomely murdered
mere minutes before Andy and Willie arrived. Could it be a
coincidence? Or could the dog theft somehow be connected to
the killing?
Andy takes Cheyenne safely back to the
foundation building, and that should be the end of his
involvement, but Andy's curiosity-and his desire to keep the
dog from further harm-won't let him stop there. The cops
have just arrested a man named Tommy Infante for the murder,
but as Andy looks into the circumstances surrounding the
break-in and the dog theft, he starts to wonder if Infante
might actually be innocent. And when Andy takes Infante on
as a client and starts searching in earnest for evidence
that will exonerate him, what Andy starts to discover
terrifies him. The murder might be just one small cog in a
plot with far-reaching implications, and unless Andy can
uncover the truth in time, thousands of lives could be in
imminent danger.
Once again David Rosenfelt has
written a fast-paced and clever mystery with his
characteristic blend of humor, larger-than-life characters,
and propulsive plotting.
