Description: Lawyer Andy Carpenter and his golden retriever, Tara, work to free a man who risked it all to help a dog in need
Lawyer Andy Carpenter and his wife, Laurie, enjoy walking their dogs, Tara and Sebastian. By this point in their marriage, it’s routine. When out for one of their strolls, their simple ritual isn’t so simple anymore. Across the street, a man is mistreating his dog. Three things happen at once: Andy yells, Laurie runs to stop the abuse, and so does a closer passerby, who so thoroughly beats the owner that both are arrested when the cops arrive.
Andy scoops up the dog and takes him to the Tara Foundation, the dog rescue organization that’s always been his true passion. Meanwhile, at the police station, the passerby is identified as Matthew Jantzen, and he’s wanted for murder. Andy and Laurie are struck by the fact that Jantzen, a man on the run, would nevertheless intervene to help a dog, and decide to find out more.
Dog Eat Dog, the twenty-second installment in the Andy Carpenter series, features the charming cast of characters - old and new - that David Rosenfelt is known for and the dogs that accompany them.
My Thoughts: Andy's next case comes to him when he and Laurie are out walking their dogs and see a man attack another who is abusing a dog. The man is Matthew Jantzen who is subsequently arrested for murder and extradited to Maine where he is accused of a home invasion murder of two people.

My Thoughts: Andy's next case comes to him when he and Laurie are out walking their dogs and see a man attack another who is abusing a dog. The man is Matthew Jantzen who is subsequently arrested for murder and extradited to Maine where he is accused of a home invasion murder of two people.
Andy agrees to be with him when he makes his plea but then intends to find a local lawyer to defend him. The baffling piece of evidence in this case is that Matthew's DNA was found under the fingernails of the male victim. Matt insists that he didn't know either person. He had no idea how his blood could get under the man's nails.
Andy's investigation uncovers a potential terrorist plot but doesn't give him a way to connect it to the murder investigation until a brainstorm in court provides the answer for him.
This is the twenty-second in the Andy Carpenter series and is filled with the usual witty dialog and cute dogs. Andy is a snarky character that I would definitely want on my side if I were ever accused of murder.
