Publisher Description
Fans of Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot will love this page-turning thriller featuring an FBI Special Agent and her search-and-rescue Labrador, as a training session in the Minnesota wilderness becomes a fight for survival…
Keeping their search-and-rescue skills honed isn’t just a job requirement for FBI Special Agent Meg Jennings and her Labrador, Hawk—it’s essential to saving lives. A water search training weekend in the Boundary Waters area of Minnesota has attracted participants from all levels of law enforcement, each vying to win. The races are challenging, the rivalry is intense, and Meg is already under pressure when Hawk alerts to a scent in the water—and discovers the fresh body of one of Meg’s fellow competitors.
The contest is called off, but Meg’s still feeling the heat. The victim had made an unfounded complaint about her, one that could cost Meg her job and see Hawk removed from her care. The field of suspects is daunting, and all of them are experts in throwing others off the trail. And though Meg’s team flies out to Minnesota to help uncover the truth, they’re on unfamiliar territory, pitted against a killer with the skills, and the motivation, to stay hidden in plain sight…
“Includes fascinating details about search dogs and their work as well as unique settings and a colorful cast of recurring characters.” – Library Journal
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Driscoll's entertaining seventh FBI K-9 novel (after 2021's Under Pressure) takes the FBI Human Scent Evidence Team of Meg Jennings and her Labrador, Hawk, to a lake in Minnesota's Superior National Forest for a water search training program. The weekend event, which has drawn law enforcement dog handlers from around the country, includes a contest. Among those pitching their tents in this rugged wilderness is someone who's determined to win at all costs. Meg has a run-in with this person, whose body Hawk later discovers submerged in the lake, and Meg becomes the prime murder suspect. Though Meg's supported by her ever-faithful partner, firefighter/paramedic Todd Webb, and her sister's partner, Washington Post investigative reporter Clay McCord, she struggles to prove her innocence. The mystery solving sometimes gets lost amid the loads of information about water search training and tips on setting up campsites, and the end comes in a bit of a rush during an extended boat chase, but Driscoll touches a chord with those who deeply love and respect their pets. A happy personal development for Meg will delight series fans.
