Defense lawyer Andy Carpenter usually tries to avoid taking
on new cases at all costs. But this time, he’s happy―eager,
even―to take the case that’s just come his way. Andy’s
long-time friend Martha “Pups” Boyer takes in stray puppies
that the local dog rescue center can’t handle, raises them
until they’re 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 Pups’s 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 Pups’s 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 doesn’t believe Pups could be guilty, but as he
starts digging deeper into the truth behind Hennessey’s
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.
