retriever, Tara, the last thing Andy expects is Truman. Tiny, healthy,
French bulldog Truman was dropped off days ago with instructions to be
euthanized by a man everyone thought was his owner. But now the owner is

whisk Truman away to the Tara Foundation, the dog-rescue organization
which is Andy’s true passion. They will find a home for Truman. But
that’s not all the vet tells Andy. Thanks to Truman’s chip, it’s
discovered that the man wasn’t Truman’s owner at all . . . Truman's real
owner has been murdered.It’s now up to Andy – with help from his
loyal sidekick Tara, Truman and the rest of the gang – to solve this
case. In the latest in the popular Andy Carpenter mystery series, David
Rosenfelt’s charmingly clever wit and love of dogs are back and better
than ever. **Review
Praise for Bark of Night
"One of the best hooks ever by an author who specializes in them . . . Even dog haters should lap it up." – Kirkus Reviews“Rosenfelt
does a great job of unfolding an intricate plot . . . Andy is a smart,
witty, relatable lead with a lot of heart, and he and his cohorts are a
pleasure to spend time with. This is a treat for mystery readers and dog
lovers.” – Publishers Weekly“Growing weary of the
detective hero with a wrecked marriage, a botched career, and a drinking
problem? Try Rosenfelt’s series hero, Andy Carpenter, who is probably
as close to Lord Peter Wimsey as the modern American crime genre can
get.” — Booklist“I love the Andy Carpenter Mystery
novels. They’re so easy to read . . . They have really fun characters.
And they have dogs. All this makes these books so much fun to read each
time . . . If you’ve never read one of these Andy Carpenter books jump
right in. Each novel reads like a stand-alone book and you get enough
back information to understand who is who and what’s going on.”— Red Carpet Crash
