Description

THE MURDER VICTIM CALLED. . . . HE WANTS HIS DOG BACK Andy Carpenter is a lawyer who would rather not practice law. He'd rather spend his time working with the Tara Foundation, his dog rescue organization, and being with his family and his two dogs, Tara and Sebastian. But when Andy's friend Beth Morris asks him for a favor that involves both dogs and his lawyerly expertise, he can't say no. Beth's mission is to find the owners of stray dogs. She and Andy have worked together on countless cases over the years. But what Beth brings to Andy isn't a run-of-the-mill request. One of her current strays, a sweet yellow lab named Lucy, belonged to a murder victim- in fact, the man and two of his colleagues died in an explosion a few weeks ago. But now Beth needs Andy's help: the "murdered" owner contacted her, and he wants his dog back. The man claims his life is in danger, and that's why he disappeared. As much as Andy doesn't want to get involved-anything to avoid a new case-he can't help but come to the rescue of a man who'd risk everything, even his life, to reunite with his dog. Once again, David Rosenfelt delivers suspense and laughter in equal measure in another engaging mystery from "one of the most unforgettable voices in the genre" (Associated Press).
