About this ebook
Edgar-award nominated author David Rosenfelt's hilarious hero, Andy Carpenter, takes on a high-profile murder case, with his favorite golden retriever, Tara, by his side--now with a new cover look.
Whether dueling with new forensics or the local old boys' network, irreverent defense attorney Andy Carpenter always leaves them awed with his biting wit and winning fourth-quarter game plan. But Andy prefers the company of his best friend, Tara, to the people he encounters in the courtroom. Tara, a golden retriever, is clearly smarter than half the lawyers who clog the courts of PassaicCounty. However, just as it seems Andy has everything figured out, his dad, New Jersey's legendary ex-D.A., drops dead in front of him at a game in Yankee Stadium. The shocks pile on as he discovers his dad left him with two unexpected legacies: a fortune of $22 million that Andy never knew existed . . . and a murder case with enough racial tinder to burn down City Hall. Struggling to serve justice and bring honor to his father, Andy must dig up some explosive political skeletons--and an astonishing family secret that can close his case (and his mouth) for good.

murder-investigation, law-enforcement, lawyers, snarky, verbal-humor Reads like the 2018 SCOTUS incident gone extremely and horribly wrong. Add in problems with recently ex wife, a client who was railroaded seven years prior and currently on death row, and Andy's other personal crises and you have everything about the book except Andy's incorrigible snarkiness. This is a very good read!

New to this series... Love that the narrator is Andy and not written in third person..the Tara references are great since the author has 35 dogs at his house! Book laced with laugh out loud moments Will read more of this very popular series hope you will too
