Defense lawyer Andy Carpenter usually tries to avoid taking on new cases at all costs. But this time, heโs happy―eager, even―to take the case thatโs just come his way. Andyโs long-time friend Martha โPupsโ Boyer takes in stray puppies that the local dog rescue center canโt handle, raises them until theyโre old enough to adopt, and then finds good homes for them. Not everyone admires the work Pups does as much as Andy does, however. With Christmas just around the corner, one of Pupsโs neighbors has just reported Pups to the city for having more than the legal number of pets in her home under the local zoning laws.
Andy happily takes Pupsโs case, and he feels confident in a positive outcome. Who could punish someone for rescuing puppies, after all, especially at Christmastime? But things get a lot more complicated when Randy Hennessey, the neighbor who registered the complaint against Pups, turns up dead. Pups had loudly and publicly threatened Hennessey after he filed his complaint, and Pups was also the one to find his body. All the evidence seems to point to Pups as the killer, and suddenly Andy has a murder case on his hands. He doesnโt believe Pups could be guilty, but as he starts digging deeper into the truth behind Hennesseyโs murder, Andy may find himself facing a killer more dangerous than he ever imagined.
With his trademark wit, larger-than-life characters, and clever plotting, David Rosenfelt delivers another gripping mystery.
