Santa's Little Yelpers: An Andy Carpenter Mystery

Description

Tis the season in Paterson, New Jersey: Lawyer Andy Carpenter and his golden retriever, Tara, are surrounded by holiday cheer. It's even spread to the Tara Foundation. The dog rescue organization, not used to having puppies, has their hands full with a recent litter. Eight puppies are a lot to handle, and Andy is relieved when his co-worker Chris Myers agrees to foster them. Myers, a newer employee at the Tara Foundation, did time for a crime he swears he didn't commit. When Myers discovers a key witness against him lied on the stand, he goes to Andy to ask for representation in getting the conviction overturned. Myers thinks they can have this wrapped up by Christmas, no problem. But when the witness is murdered, and Myers is arrested for the crime, things go from bad to worse. Suddenly, it's all elves on deck to make a list and check it twice, so they can prove Myers is innocent.

David Rosenfelt is the Edgar-nominated and Shamus Award-winning author of more than twenty Andy Carpenter novels, most recently Holy Chow; nine stand-alone thrillers; two non-fiction titles; and three K Team novels, a new series featuring some of the characters from the Andy Carpenter series. After years of living in California, he and his wife moved to Maine with twenty-five of the four thousand dogs they have rescued.

Praise for Santa's Little Yelpers "For twists and turns, a story you can't put down, and dogs, Rosenfelt's books fill the bill, especially Santa's Little Yelpers." -Kings River Life "A nice group of supportive human pals, adorable dogs, and a plot that's just complicated enough make this a winner." --Publishers Weekly "The climactic revelation, as in all of Andy's best cases, is both head-shakingly incredible and deeply satisfying." --Kirkus Reviews
