Rosenfelt's eighth entry in the Andy Carpenter series (after New Tricks) is as entertaining as his previous titles. The familiar characters are back: Andy, a lawyer who would prefer doing anything to working; Willie, still managing the Tara Foundation (dog rescue); girlfriend and PI Laurie; and Marcus, the extra-large security guard. This time, Andy is tempted into representing Milo, a retired German shepherd police dog that had been turned into the perfect thief by Billy Zimmerman, an injured Iraqi war veteran and ex-cop. When found at the scene of a murder, Billy was charged with the crime, and Milo was put under lock and key. Always a sucker for a dog, Andy comes to his rescue and also ends up representing Billy. Verdict Rosenfelt's dry wit can be laugh-out-loud funny, and his hero's latest adventures will appeal to readers of Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar series.
