Description

For the K Team, playing "good dog, bad cop" is all fun and games... until they have three suspicious deaths and zero suspects. The K Team enjoys investigating cold cases for the Paterson Police Department. Corey Douglas, his K-9 partner Simon Garfunkel, Laurie Collins, and Marcus Clark even get to choose which cases they'd like to pursue. When Corey sees the latest list of possibilities, there's no question which one to look into next. Corey's former mentor, Jimmy Dietrich, had his whole identity wrapped up in being a cop. When Jimmy retired a few years ago, his marriage quickly deteriorated, and he tried-and failed-to get back on the force. Jimmy was left to adjust to life as a civilian. Not long after, two bodies were found in a boat floating near the Long Island Sound: a local woman, Susan Avery-whose detective husband, Danny, had recently been murdered-and Jimmy. With no true evidence available, the deaths went unsolved, and the case was declared cold. This didn't stop whispers about what had happened on that boat: an affair gone wrong...a murder-suicide committed by Jimmy. Corey never believed it. By looking into the three deaths, the K Team has the opportunity to find the people actually responsible and clear Jimmy's name. Bestselling author David Rosenfelt returns in Good Dog, Bad Cop, where there's little to go on, but that won't stop Paterson, New Jersey's favorite private investigators from sniffing out the truth.

Praise for David Rosenfelt and The K Team novels

"The K Team makes a strong companion to Rosenfelt's ongoing series and it should be fighting crime for many novels." --Associated Press
