Dog Pound is the third book in the "Janitors Series," following Baghdad Butcher and Back to Iraq. However, with the exception of a cameo appearance, Jim Scott and the Janitors take a vacation in this book. A new batch of characters, three of whom join the team in later books, are introduced in this one. Three more characters herein offer varying degrees of assistance to the Janitors in later adventures of the team. When one goes to bed with the devil, one should expect the results of that action. That applies not only to those sub-human beings known as terrorists, but also to otherwise normal people who come up with screams outside the law that call for aligning themselves with hardened criminals who have no regard for human life. This is the story of one such man and what he brings upon himself—as well as a few terrorists that meet up with Jim Scott and friends.
