SOMEONE IS TAKING SEARCH AND RESCUE OFF THE MAP…
ONE MEMBER AT A TIME.

Eve has finally gotten her foot in the door with Wyoming West Search and Rescue, and she's not about to let a few grueling tests—or one particularly grumpy team president—stand between her and her dream.

With her loyal dog Atlas by her side, Eve is determined to prove that they have what it takes to become full-fledged members of the team. The first few challenges go smoothly, but when Atlas successfully locates a hidden training sample, there's one very important thing missing.

The person who's supposed to be testing them.

At first, Eve suspects someone is deliberately trying to sabotage her chances. But when the missing evaluator fails to return home, irritation turns to alarm. And when the search for a missing person becomes a murder investigation, Eve realizes there's a lot more at stake than her search and rescue certification.

Someone has a deadly grudge against Wyoming West Search and Rescue, and the body count might not stop at one.

With team members potentially in the crosshairs and a killer hiding behind an unknown motive, Eve and Atlas find themselves facing their most dangerous challenge yet. Uncovering the truth won't be easy, especially when nobody knows who might be next.

In the rugged Wyoming wilderness, finding the missing is what search and rescue does best.

But what happens when the rescuers become the targets?

A suspenseful, twist-filled cozy mystery featuring a determined amateur sleuth, her clever canine companion, small-town secrets, and a killer who's turning search and rescue into a deadly game.
