David Rosenfelt has shifted the emphasis to a K Team member, Corey Douglas, in Good Dog, Bad Cop (#1,170) a spinoff novel from his popular Andy Carpenter mystery series. It has the twists and turns and the humor that you would expect.
The K Team, comprised of Corey Douglas, his retired K9 partner Simon Garfunkle, Laurie Carpenter and Marcus Clark have been hired by the Paterson, New Jersey Homicide Chief Pete Stanton to clean up some of the cold cases sitting in the department's files. The best thing about the gig? They get to choose which cases to take on. Corey's mentor Jimmy Dietrich was found dead on a drifting boat with Susan Avery, the wife of a cop murdered while on a stakeout. Was it a suicide/murder? There is no evidence one way or the other. Corey persuades the team to take on the case to clear Jimmy's reputation. They have no idea that they've stepped into something much, much bigger...
If you like Andy Carpenter mysteries, you'll eat this one up. Andy even makes some bonus appearances!
