Dog Day Afternoon

Andy Carpenter manages to keep everyone guessing about his client's guilt or innocence right up until the end again in David Rosenfeldt's Dog Day Afternoon (#1,266).  As reluctant as Andy is to take on yet another new client, when Marcus Clark asks him to do it as a favor for him, how can Andy refuse?  Marcus has kept him alive on a number of occasions in order to be able to continue his law practice.

Everything in the case against Nick Williams points directly to him as the gunman in a horrific mass shooting at a law office.  The only problem is that Nick claims that he remembers nothing from the time he left the back door of his apartment to go to work until he wakes up chained to a wall in a deserted building for several days.  Marcus has mentored this young man and he believes he was set up to take the fall for the murders.  All he needs is to have Andy prove it...

Oh, and of course there's a dog named Daisy involved!  A golden retriever, so how can Andy resist?

Another fun outing with an ending I did not see coming.
