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.
