Shownotes Transcript

Multiple Edgar Award winning author T. Jefferson Parker always delivers. With nearly 30 novels to his credit, Parker has an uncanny ability to tap into character and make the reader feel like they’ve known them forever. The paperback release of The Rescue centers on journalist Bettina Blazak, who falls in love with a street dog in a Tijuana animal shelter. The dog is recovering from a gunshot wound and Bettina adopts him, unknowingly sending dark underworld forces after her and the dog.

Parker pulls off scenes from the dog’s point of view in this marvelously plotted thriller. The dog even help Bettina through her personal losses. Listen to Parker describe the influences for these unique characters and the part his own rescue dog, Jasper played in The Rescue.
