Silent Bite

Description

Lawyer Andy Carpenter can finally take a breath; he's back on dry land after a family Caribbean cruise forced on him by his wife, Laurie, to get into the Christmas spirit. Of course the family's first stop is to the Tara Foundation, the dog rescue organization that has always been Andy's true passion. But when Andy arrives, his partner, Willie Miller, needs his help. Willie's old cellmate, Glenn Anson, has been arrested for murder. Andy doesn't necessarily believe in Glenn, but Willie does. And Andy believes in Willie, which is why Andy decides to take the case. Once again David Rosenfelt puts readers in the Christmas spirit in a tale that is equal parts mystery and holiday cheer.

DAVID ROSENFELT is the Edgar-nominated and Shamus Award-winning author of eleven stand-alones and twenty Andy Carpenter novels, most recently Dachshund Through the Snow. After years of living in California, he and his wife moved to Maine with twenty-five of the four thousand dogs they have rescued.
