A Dog Steals the Show in Robert Crais’ New Novel, “Suspect.”

Robert Crais’ new novel, Suspect, marks the return of LAPD police officer Scott James, but the most appealing character in the book is the cop’s new partner, an 85-pound German Shepherd named Maggie.

Crais even writes some chapters from Maggie’s point of view. That would be risky for most writers, but Crais pulls it off brilliantly.  You can find my Associated Press review of the novel here.
