(The second book in the Jessica Anderson K-9 Mystery series)
A novel by

 
 
Predator or prey? Jessie must decide.

Called out on a night search for two missing teens, Jessie and her pack of search dogs again team up with Bitterroot County Sheriff Landon Reid on a dangerous case involving multiple missing persons, felonious assault, and, ultimately, murder.

When Reid takes a bullet following a lead from Jessie’s snooping drones, his second-in-command authorizes a manhunt to run the fugitives to ground. Despite the risk, and against her better judgment, Jessie sets her dogs to tracking down the criminals, only to find that she and the deputies with her are in lethal danger from silent killers.

The story of a woman and her beloved dogs who step into the line of fire to save the lives of others.

Clean, safe reading
No sex, gore, or profanity.

(And--spoiler alert--yes, dear reader, no dog dies in this book, either. :) )

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

“I wondered what would happen next, and happen it did, plus I finally got to know a bit about Jessie and what happened to destabilize her. This roller coaster ride of a story brought me chuckles, then terror on the turnaround as Jessie and her dogs search for the missing. Dawn manages to get you all relaxed, enjoying the scenery and the personalities while unraveling story mystery, only to jerk you into danger a second later. Well written and well executed. ...Oh, and an update on the dog I adopted because I was so taken with Dawn's first book--Bobo and I go out for walks three times a day, and he's an easy rider in the car when I'm traveling. (Lucky for me, there are plenty of motels that allow dogs.) I credit my loss of twenty pounds to my new best pal. Amazing what a dog can do to change bad habits." —L. L. Alexander, freelance editor

“Every time I thought I'd figured it out, I was wrong. Love the dogs, love the woman who trains them, and grudgingly even like the sheriff a little. Scary situation, though. What's scary is that it's so real. It could happen. Maybe it has.” —Sarah Yarborough, mystery reader

“I didn't expect the second book to be as good as the first. But it is. I think it's better. Huge, heart-pounding ending. Love the black puppy.” —Kimberly Clarke, K-9 mystery reader

“I really like this family, the Anderson's. I love the dogs, the mystery is deep, the criminals smart, but it's the family of dog trainers that brings me practically to tears. They're the best.” —Joanne Robinson, mystery lover
