For criminals who profit from abusing animals, murdering a human — or three — is just another business decision.
In the thrilling third book of the Casey Stafford detective series, the LAPD's sharpest homicide cop follows a murdered journalist's trail into the darkest corner of Los Angeles: the greed-driven California puppy sales trade.
When a Los Angeles Times reporter is stabbed to death on a quiet Hollywood street, Casey expects a mugging gone wrong. What he finds instead is a conspiracy starting from a puppy mill in Ohio and leading to the brutal murders of at least three people — at the hands of Casey's most dangerous suspect so far: Dax Edwards, pit bull breeder, knife fighter, stone-cold killer.
Fast, funny, and impossible to put down, Bite Back is everything fans of Michael Connelly and John Sandford love about LA crime fiction — razor-sharp procedural detail, an irresistible protagonist, and a dog named Pancake who just might steal the whole show.
