I only found this series by David Rosenfelt because a friend lent me his book Dogtripping. It led me to this series and I have loved it. The older books can be hard to find, but Alibris saved me. If you love dogs and you love mysteries, you will love this series.

Another Wisecracking Winner
This fourth time out, David Rosenfelt takes his hero, Andy Carpenter, into a sport-related mystery. It's obvious that the author is crazy about sports and he lets Andy rub shoulders with the great and near-great of the NFL (National Football League).
Andy receives a call that a potential client (Kenny Schilling) wants to see him immediately. Arriving at Kenny's home, he finds that Kenny (quarterback for the Giants) is holding off the police at his home. In Kenny's closet lies a dead Jets quarterback.
As bodies pile up, Andy calls upon his friends to help him figure out the case, including: Laurie Collins (Andy's girlfriend and case detective), strong-man Marcus Clark, sometimes secretary and full-time crossword puzzle enthusiast Edna, and a host of other eccentrics and good guys.
Of course, Andy is on surname-basis with the local Mafia boss. He tries to interest the Mafia in 'taking-out' the wise guy who plans to 'take-out' Andy - before he can defend his client in court.
Things twist and turn faster than Andy can wisecrack about the folly of his career choice. However, trouble is on the horizon; Laurie has an opportunity of a great job back in her hometown. Will she go ... or stay with Andy? 4.5 stars
