Lion & Lamb: Two investigators. Two rivals. One hell of a crime.

Veena Lion and Cooper Lamb are rival PIs in Philadelphia in this "fun ride…the romance between Cooper and Veena is artfully handled...endearing characters including Cooper's two preternaturally clever kids and his Rhodesian ridgeback puppy." –Publishers Weekly

The city is in a state of shock over the fate of two hometown heroes: Eagles starting quarterback Archie Hughes, and his even more famous wife, Grammy-winning singer Francine Hughes.

One spouse is murdered. The other is suspect #1.
 
Even before the case hits the courtroom, it's the hottest ticket in town. 
 
For the defense: Cooper Lamb, private investigator to the stars.
 
For the prosecution: Veena Lion, a sleuth so bright she's got to wear shades.
 
Between them, they know every secret in Philadelphia. Together, they prove how two wrongs can make a right. They are Lion & Lamb.

Editorial Reviews

"There's an inherent satisfaction we get from murder mystery stories that feature entirely clever, yet diametrically opposed, but still wildly attracted to each other detective types. It scratches an itch. I should know-I'm somewhat of an expert. (On murder stories, not itches.) Patterson once again takes us on a wild ride that keeps us turning pages to see if we're all as smart as the characters in his story."―Nathan Fillion

Unusual style of telling a murder mystery makes this book worth reading. Looking forward to reading a follow up story.

It kept me thinking through the whole book. And the added humor makes this a hard to put down book!

Very well written with each chapter delivered differently intone. Easy read with the complicated characters left me guessing who done it clear to the end. An enjoyable, easy read.

Love a book I can't figure out " who done it". This was a quick read. Lots of suspects. But didn't see the ending. I like it. It was justice.

This was a very interesting story. It's written in a different format, not the normal storyline, that actually works perfectly! There are a lot of factors to consider, a lot of suspects. Lamb is a hoot- funny, serious, very capable! Lion is the more serious. They are great together! I truly hope there's a second book for these two as I just didn't want the story to end! Well written and a very enjoyable read!
