Publisher Description
A German Shepherd police dog witnesses a murder and if his owner--an Iraq war vet and former cop-turned-thief--is convicted of the crime, the dog could be put down. Few rival Andy Carpenter's affection for dogs, and he decides to represent the poor canine. As Andy struggles to convince a judge that this dog should be set free, he discovers that the dog and his owner have become involved unwittingly in a case of much greater proportions than the one they've been charged with. Andy will have to call upon the unique abilities of this ex-police dog to help solve the crime and prevent a catastrophic event from taking place.

"Fun courtroom thriller with a dog at the center of the case, of course (lawyer Andy Carpenter is independently wealthy and would prefer not to do any work but every once in a while a dog comes along with a case that Andy just can't turn down)."
— Diane (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“Series fans and newcomers alike will welcome Rosenfelt’s eight comic legal thriller…Oddball regular characters, like Willie Miller, who tries his hand at detecting, and Marcus Clark, ‘the most-menacing-looking human being’ Carpenter has ever seen, add to the fun.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Gardner’s delivery is perfect for Rosenfelt’s sardonic sense of humor and general goofiness…Gardner delivers the character signatures with aplomb: Andy’s wisecracking, his new associate’s gloomy-Gus routine, and his girlfriend’s enthusiasm for investigating and problem-solving. Gardner’s deadpan vocals keep listeners engaged and laughing.”

— Anne, 1/24/2014 -

— Lychee, 1/19/2014 -

" really missed Sam's song/talking in this book "
— Cathy, 1/16/2014 -
" A lawyer takes on a dog as a client to get it released from the Pound. He then becomes embroiled in the owners law suit. A fun murder mystery. "
— Chris, 1/16/2014 -
" Very well done. Even though I started with a book well on in the Andy Carpenter series, I was not lost and enjoyed it very much. I will read more. Looking forward to this author's visit at our local library later this month. "
— Nancy, 1/7/2014 -
" Very interesting and suspenseful. Kept me guessing the whole time. Grabbed it because it had to do with dogs. :) "
— Shadow, 12/30/2013 -
" This is the 8th book I've read in this series. I didn't enjoy this one quite as much and I think it was because there was to much espionage. "
— Linda, 12/17/2013 -
" Great book. I like pretty much all of the Andy Carpenter books seeing as I have a soft spot for sarcasm and dry humor. "
— Jimmy, 12/10/2013 -
" Light reading but endearing character. "
— Alex, 12/6/2013 -
" really liked all 8. Mysteries, people get killed but not dark and gruesome. "
— Mike, 7/24/2013 -
" Nice plot, he LOVES dogs (as do I), I'll start reading his stuff from #1 in the series and anxiously await his next novel. "
— Barbara, 7/23/2013 -
" Entertaining, if formulaic. There's a terribly evil bad guy, a key role for a dog and the usual cast of characters - Laurie, Pete, Vince, the FBI pal and so on. If you've enjoyed the earlier books in this series, this is more of the same. "
— Herzog, 5/15/2013 -
" The German Shepard did it. No that isn't a spoiler , but a trailer. Find out more - read the book. Lots of fun as you would expect. "
— Kelly, 8/7/2012 -
" Intersting and a good read. I think non-animal lovers just won't understand how brilliant dogs are :) "
— Karen, 5/12/2012 -
" The narrator/protagonist is a bit too glib for my tastes. The best thing about the book was the author's obvious regard for the warmth and companionship of dogs. And with that, I can not find fault. "
— Janis, 2/27/2012 -
" Little hard to follow with all of the guys involved. The plot was hatched in Iraq to make some people rich. This involves oil, rhodium and natural gas. Actually a really good story. "
— Kathy, 1/16/2012 -
" I always enjoy the Andy Carpenter series and this book was no exception. It was an easy read and I like how he works dogs into the stories. "
— Julie, 12/28/2011 -
" I am glad I discovered this series. Very good. Now that I have caught up, I am going to have to patiently wait for the next one to come out! "
— Jeffrey, 6/22/2011 -
" Next to Harlan Coben, Rosenfelt is my favorite fluff author. I chuckle out loud while I read and, for the few hours I spend with Andy Carpenter, I am engrossed and entertained. This is something my mystery readers will enjoy. "
— Trish, 6/6/2011 -
" Very interesting and suspenseful. Kept me guessing the whole time. Grabbed it because it had to do with dogs. :) "
— Shadow, 5/29/2011 -
" Entertaining and written with a light touch, "
— Fred, 5/10/2011 -
" This is the 8th book I've read in this series. I didn't enjoy this one quite as much and I think it was because there was to much espionage. "
— Linda, 4/29/2011 -
" More of Andy Patterson. Not quite as humorous as earlier books but still kept me reading. This book develops into a larger plot and has a new lawyer sidekick. "
— Gordon, 4/7/2011 -
" First book I read of his.. I was laughing out loud while reading the book. "
— Sally, 3/13/2011 -
" What a fun book this is! This is a fast-paced, clever lawyer/detective procedural with very witty dialog and some good twists. The characters are uniformly likeable, even adorable (especially the canine ones). "
— Jill, 3/6/2011
