The Quiet One
(2026)(The seventh book in the K-9 Search & Rescue Mystery series)

A thirteen-year-old secret is buried in the Colorado mountains. A K-9 handler and her aging German Shepherd are about to dig it up.
When skeletal remains surface on a remote trail outside Elk Creek, newlywed SAR handler Gemma Hartley-Reyes and her veteran air-scent dog Kira are pulled into a cold case that no one in town wanted reopened. As Gemma trains a new recruit and navigates married life, the investigation uncovers a web of silence stretching back over a decade. Someone in Elk Creek knows exactly what happened. And they're watching Gemma get closer.
Perfect for fans of Margaret Mizushima's Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries and Sara Driscoll's FBI K-9 Novels. The Quiet One delivers an atmospheric Colorado setting, an unbreakable handler-dog bond, a close-knit mountain community hiding secrets, and a slow-burn mystery that builds to a heart-pounding conclusion.
