David Rosenfelt
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.

"A great series with cases that will grab your attention and characters whose personalities and relationships grow more interesting throughout the series. And the audiobooks are first-rate. Plus - dogs. : )) "

"A lot of interesting story twists and the humor in it makes a super fun read! The clever way he questions witnesses in court, and the evidence he uncovers that the prosecution misses really make his books page turners. I listen to audiobooks and I average about two days getting through one of the books. Wanting to read the entire series. Have read some of the others already."
