<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">Reading Time: 6 hours, 22 minutes</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">Narrator: Grover Gardner</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">Reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter is looking forward to Christmas\u2014not for
the holiday spirit, but for football season. He plans to relax and enjoy the
games, but his plans are interrupted when a murder tied to a past case emerges
in Paterson, New Jersey.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">Two years earlier, a gas leak caused a devastating explosion in an
office building, killing seven people. Jeff Wheeler, who had arrived to pick up
his girlfriend, rushed inside to help. Guided only by the sound of barking, he
rescued a dog named Rufus\u2014the sole survivor\u2014and was hailed as a hero.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">After the tragedy, Rufus was placed with the Tara Foundation, but Andy
later allowed Jeff to adopt him. The two formed a strong and lasting bond.
However, Jeff always suspected that the explosion was not an accident and
believed one of the building\u2019s owners was responsible.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">Now that the same owner has been murdered, Jeff has been arrested. With
Rufus left in the care of Jeff\u2019s sister, she turns to Andy for help.
Remembering Jeff\u2019s courage and driven by a sense of justice, Andy takes on the
case in hopes of proving Jeff\u2019s innocence and reuniting him with Rufus.</p>
