Beka Cooper is no longer a Puppy. She’s a Dog now–a full-fledged member of the Provost’s Guard, which keeps the peace in Corus’s streets. Beka’s natural skills of observation and tenacity are augmented by her unusual magical talents. But even her magic isn’t very useful when unrest comes to Tortall’s capital in the form of counterfeit coins, which turn up in shops all over the city.
The Dogs discover that gamblers are bringing the counterfeits from Port Caynn–and that the Port Caynn Dogs don’t seem to be doing anything about it. Beka and her mentor, Clary Goodwin, are chosen to go undercover in Port Caynn and find out what they can. Departing from Corus with her are the scent hound Achoo, who has been newly assigned to Beka, and the pigeon Slapper, who carries the voices of the dead.
In Port Caynn, Beka and Goodwin delve deep into the gambling world. There Beka meets a charming bank courier, who may be involved in the counterfeiting ring. Things come to a head just as Goodwin returns home to report to Corus. It won’t be enough for Beka to be her usual “terrier” self. She’ll have to learn from Achoo to sniff out the criminals–to be a bloodhound.

      Seventeen-year-old Beka is now a full-fledged policewoman who sets out with her scent hound, Achoo, to investigate counterfeit coins being passed in Port Caynn. For listeners not familiar with TERRIER, the first book in Pierce's trilogy, it will take some time to get oriented to this story, but things will fall into place. Susan Denaker gives a smooth performance that keeps the story moving at a good pace. She uses a variety of subtle accents to reflect class and hierarchy. Beka tells her own story in the first person, and Denaker presents a convincing portrayal of young woman with an iron will who is determined to meet her obligations to her duty and her friends.
