وصف الناشر
Andy Carpenter's accountant, Sam Willis, is stunned to receive a phone call out of the blue from Barry Price, a high school friend he hasn't spoken to in years, pleading for help with something too frightening to discuss on the phone. Barry needs Sam's financial acumen and lawyer Andy Carpenter's legal expertise—and he needs them immediately. But when Sam almost runs over an injured dog lying in the road on the way to Barry's house, he can't drive off without waiting for help to arrive. By the time Sam makes it, Barry's already taken off on a private airplane headed who-knows-where.
Assuming their help is no longer needed, Sam and Andy turn their full attention to helping the dog Sam found recover from his injuries. Then they learn that Barry's plane has crashed, and they come to the terrifying realization that Sam was also supposed to have been killed on that plane. Barry was in far more serious trouble than either of them knew, and for Sam and Andy, the trouble is only beginning.
Unleashed, David Rosenfelt's next Andy Carpenter mystery, is a thrilling read, full of Rosenfelt's trademark clever plotting, humor, and engaging prose.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The threat of a major terrorist attack on the U.S. doesn't dispel the charm of Edgar-finalist Rosenfelt's 11th mystery featuring Paterson, N.J., criminal defense attorney Andy Carpenter (after 2012's Leader of the Pack). Andy, who's independently wealthy and averse to taking on new clients, reluctantly agrees to help his accountant, Sam Willis, with a personal matter. Hedge fund owner Barry Price, an old friend of Sam's who married the accountant's high school sweetheart, Denise, wants to hire Andy for some unspecified purpose. Before Andy and Barry can meet, Barry dies in a crash while piloting his private plane. When the police arrest Denise for her husband's murder, Sam begs Andy to defend her, only to end up needing Andy's services himself. Meanwhile, key players involved in Barry's financial dealings start turning up dead. Those who relish Andy's refreshingly candid and often hilarious courtroom style will particularly enjoy his performance on the witness stand.

What a great read. Twists and turns abound. I love the Andy Carpenter series and also this authors stand alone books. I want for Andy and Laurie to marry and Willie and Sondra to have a baby. But I'll be happy just looking forward to another book with Andy and Tara.

I have been a die-hard fan since the first book of this series. I know some of the plot lines get a little out there, but the dialog and the wit keep me coming back for more.
