The snow breaks in March. Kira’s grave emerges from the white. And Carl Garner, the man who ordered four veterans killed, is somewhere in these mountains, waiting for the world to stop looking for him.
It has been a long winter. Atticus is eleven months old, pulling himself toward the edge of the coffee table with the determined focus of someone discovering how much larger the world is than he understood. Marco is tracking Garner’s movements through a network of remote properties and backcountry access points. And Shelby Tate, who never stopped searching, wakes before dawn to check the update that comes from Denver, the one that says: still no sign of him. Still in the network. Still waiting.
When Garner’s location is finally confirmed, a mining cabin in the backcountry, the last of his properties, the one place he believed no one would look, the operation that follows tests everything that has been built across fourteen books: Shelby and KK tracking a fugitive through wilderness, Gemma coordinating from the fork in the road, Marco running a law enforcement perimeter, and a handler-and-dog team moving toward the answer Lori Carrico deserves.
And in the ravine off the east fork, in the ground that has been releasing winter’s secrets one by one since March, KK finds what Shelby came to Elk Creek to find.
The Long Way Home is the series finale, earned, complete, and quietly devastating in the way that only a story about love and loss and the faithfulness of dogs can be. On Gemma’s porch, with wildflowers blooming over Kira’s grave and Atticus on her hip and Marco’s hand finding hers, the mountains keep their quiet watch. Peace, finally. Held.
Perfect for fans of Nevada Barr, Margaret Mizushima, and Robert Crais. A series finale worth every book that came before it.
Book 14 of 14. The series finale. The complete K-9 Search & Rescue Mysteries series by Sophie Lyon is now available.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
