"This long-running series remains as fresh as ever." -- Publishers Weekly

Once again bestselling author David Rosenfelt puts readers in the Christmas spirit in a tale that is equal parts murder mystery and holiday cheer in Silent Bite, the next festive installment in this heartwarming series.

Lawyer Andy Carpenter can finally take a breath; he's almost back on dry land after a family Caribbean cruise forced on him by his wife, Laurie, to get into the Christmas spirit. Andy can't wait to get back to the Tara Foundation, the dog rescue organization that's always been his true passion. But before the boat even docks, Andy gets several calls from his partner, Willie Miller. He needs to see Andy as soon as the Carpenters are back on solid ground.

When Andy arrives home, he finds that all is not calm or bright, and Willie needs his help. Willie's old cellmate, Tony Birch, has been arrested for murder. Andy doesn't necessarily believe in Tony, but Willie does. And Andy believes in Willie, which is why Andy decides to take the case.
