For only $6.99: Lawyer Andy Carpenter will have to pull out all of his tricks to get to the bottom of this cold case turned white hot in One Dog Night, the latest in David Rosenfelt's popular mystery series. For six years Noah Galloway has lived with a horrible secret and the fear that his rebuilt life could be shattered at any moment. Now his dread has become a certainty, and he has been arrested for the arson murder of twenty-six people. What he needs is defense lawyer Andy Carpenter, who most definitely is not in the market for a new client. So Noah plays his hole card: a shared love for Andy’s golden retriever, Tara, and the knowledge that Andy wasn’t her first owner—Noah rescued Tara first. When Noah wasn’t able to care for her any longer, he did everything in his power to make sure that she was placed in the right home: Andy’s. Andy soon learns that the long-ago event that may destroy Noah’s life is only the beginning of an ongoing conspiracy that grows more deadly by the day. *BONUS CONTENT: This edition of One Dog Night includes a new introduction from the author and a discussion guide

Everyone's favorite Golden Retriever-aficionado, who practices law when he absolutely has to, is back. At this point in the series, the trick is coming up with something compelling enough to get Andy to take a case – this book just might have the strongest motivating factor in the series.
From there we get one of the more gruesome and devastating crimes in this series (but thankfully, we're years removed from it, so we don't have to read much about the details), and one of the more widespread and reaching conspiracies this side of Robert Langdon (but in a book that's far better written and entertaining)
The gang's all here, even if Willie's only seen briefly and off in a storyline all his own (not sure I got the point of it, but it didn't detract from the main story), and I'm getting used to Andy's new co-counsel (though I don't think he'll truly replace the last one). This may contain Sam's greatest moment – only to be eclipsed a couple chapters later by something greater (alas, minor spoiler: no song talking). The courtroom antics were solid and entertaining – even when things aren't going Andy's (or the client's) way. The twists and turns kept coming, resulting in an ending I never saw coming.
