David Rosenfelt Books Overview

Open and Shut

‘There is nothing like a golden retriever. I know, I know, it’s a big planet with a lot of wonderful things, but golden retrievers are the absolute best. Mine is named Tara…
The only problem she has ever caused is that I spend so much time with her in the mornings that I am almost invariably late for work.’ 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.

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…

But the case becomes personal when, in a stunning development, Andy’s client is exonerated and his girlfriend, Laurie Collins, is accused of the crime. When the man who originally confessed to the murder turns up dead, Andy realises that this is much bigger than one crime. Who committed the murders? Who framed Laurie?

Yet Laurie strongly believes that the suspect, Jeremy Davidson, is innocent. Trading the refineries and factories of Paterson for the frozen pastures of Findlay, Wisconsin, Andy soon finds himself in a small town handling a big time double homicide case. He looks into Jeremy’s romance with one of the victims and the possible involvement of a bizarre religious cult one that may sanction the most unholy, and vicious, of acts. While Andy tries to save Jeremy, make sense of his love life, and find a decent pizza for his beloved dog, Tara, the secrets of an ultra religious community begin to rain down on him like bricks from a cracked fortress.
