Description

Corey Douglas and his K-9 partner, a German shepherd named Simon Garfunkel, are recently retired police officers turned private investigators. Along with fellow former cop Laurie Collins and her investigating partner, Marcus Clark, they call themselves the K Team, in honor of Simon. The K Team's latest case-a recent unsolved murder-gives Corey a chance to solve "the one that got away." Corey knew the murder victim from his time on the force, when he was unable to protect her in a domestic dispute. Now he is convinced the same abusive boyfriend is responsible for her murder. With some help from Laurie's lawyer husband, Andy Carpenter, the K Team is determined to prove what the police could not, no matter the cost. What they uncover is much more sinister than they could have imagined. Known for his dog-loving stories and addictive characters, bestselling mystery author David Rosenfelt presents Animal Instinct, the second installment in this engrossing new series about a dynamite investigative team and their canine partner.

Reviews

Praise for Animal Instinct "Rosenfelt smoothly mixes humor with a sharp plot and appealing characters. This series deserves a long run." -- Publishers Weekly "A second outing for Paterson's preeminent investigators ensnares one of their own members in uncomfortable ways. . . Though the case is a hot mess, the criminals' sublimely simple central concept is worth all those subsidiary homicides." -- Kirkus Reviews "A solid follow up to [The K Team]." -- Red Carpet Crash "[A]rtfully spun." --BookPage "A chiller with laughs." --David Rothenberg on WBAI/RADIO "[Animal Instinct] kept my interest well into the night. I highly recommend this new series." --Deadly Pleasures Praise for The K Team The K Team makes a strong companion to Rosenfelt's ongoing series and it should be fighting crime for many novels. --Associated Press "Corey serves as an investigator and narrator every bit as ebullient as Andy and a lot more diligent . . . If you liked Rosenfelt's rollicking previous series, you'll like this one too." -- Kirkus Review "A promising start to what's likely to be a long-running series." --Publishers Weekly "Fans of the Andy Carpenter series will find much to enjoy here, including some cameos from Carpenter himself." --Library Journal
