Synopsis
Over the course of his legal career, Andy Carpenter has lost a few cases. But that doesn't mean he forgets his clients. Andy has always been convinced that Joey Desimone, a man convicted of murder nine years ago, was innocent and believes that Joey's family's connections to organized crime played a pivotal role in his conviction. While there isn't much Andy can do for him while he serves out his prison sentence, Joey suggests that he check up on Joey's elderly uncle. He'd rather not, but as a favor to Joey, Andy agrees to take his dog, Tara, on a few visits.
The old man's memory is going, but when Andy tries to explain why he's there, it jogs something in the man's mind, and his comments leave Andy wondering if Uncle Nick is confused, or if he just might hold the key to Joey's freedom after all this time. Andy grabs on to this thread of possibility and follows it into a world where the oath of silence is stronger than blood ties, and where people will do anything to make sure their secrets are kept.
Riveting, suspenseful, and highly entertaining, Leader of the Pack is bestseller David Rosenfelt's latest entry in his much-beloved Andy Carpenter series.

Reviews
Ive read several in the series. Knew this would be a favorite when it opened with Andy & Tara getting involved in Pet Therapy. My dog, Fonzy & I are midway though the process of getting certified to do the same. I doubt well get involved in any mob hits, but who knows what the folks at the nursing home did in their younger days?. Its still pretty cool meeting them and hearing some stories. The Fonz says all that attention cant be beat, even when the lady doling it out is 99. Heres hoping Tara and Andy get as much satisfaction from it as we do.
