Rescued: An Andy Carpenter Mystery

Description

Defense lawyer Andy Carpenter is reluctant to take on any more cases. He'd much rather spend his time working for his dog rescue organization, the Tara Foundation, than find himself back in a courtroom. However, when a truck carrying over seventy dogs from the South to the rescue-friendly northeast turns up with a murdered driver, Andy can't help but get involved. Andy is eager to help the dogs, many of whom come to the Tara Foundation while awaiting forever homes - it's the man accused of murder who he has a problem defending. The accused just happens to be his wife Laurie's ex-fiance; her tall, good looking, ex-Marine ex-fiance. Even with dozens of cases behind him, this one may prove to be his most difficult.

David Rosenfelt is the Edgar-nominated and Shamus Award-winning author of eight stand-alones and sixteen Andy Carpenter novels. He and his wife live in Maine with twenty-five of the four thousand dogs they have rescued.
