First in a series, and very good. It's about an ancestor of George Cooper, a girl named Rebakah (or Beka) Cooper, who was training to become an enforcer of law (also called a Dog) in the Lower City of Corus, Tortall. To help her practice, she is assigned to two fully trained Dogs to patrol with. While with them, she discovers a mystery case of a person calling himself the "Shadow Snake," who was supposed to be just a fictional character sometimes used to scare children into following rules. This person was taking away mostly children as well as a few adults and holding them for ransom. Beka, her friends, and her Dogs, had to use their magical, mental, physical abilities to try and catch the criminal.
Terrier is REALLY good, although I love all of Tamora Pierce's books. She's my favorite author along with Piers Anthony. It's a very fast paced story, and it's a great fantasy novel.
