His streak of murder case acquittals made him a regular on cable talk shows. His recent $22 million inheritance bought him a dog rescue operation named after his beloved golden retriever. Now after turning down cases left and right, attorney Andy Carpenter feels like he's facing a midlife crisis. And just when he decides he needs some real work a newspaper owner friend asks Andy to protect his star reporter. Danny Cummings is being used as a mouthpiece by a serial killer...but the reporter gets way too close to his story when he's found near the murderer's latest victim. Quickly working to save what's left of Cummings's rep, Andy soon makes news himself when he gets death threats-and moves dangerously close to becoming tomorrow's obituary.
The hero of David Rosenfelt"s previous novels, Edgar-nominated Open and Shut and First Degree, Andy Carpenter returns to prove the innocence of a reporter accused of being a serial killer. Defense attorney Andy Carpenter has been successfully avoiding taking on new cases until his sometime friend and newspaper owner, Vince Sanders, calls and asks him for a favor. Daniel Cummings, Vince"s star reporter, is being used as the mouthpiece for a brutal serial killer. He has been cooperating with the police but Vince wants to make sure both the newspaper and Daniel are protected. Andy thinks the case will be a piece of cake....until Daniel is found unconscious in the park next to the killer"s latest victim. Daniel claims he intended to stop the murder but the police arrest him. Now, with the help of his girlfriend Laurie and his partner Kevin, Andy reluctantly plunges into the case. And as he learns more about Daniel"s shady background he begins to wonder how deadly the truth might be.
