Solving an abduction case

means a relentless K-9 manhunt…

When search and rescue worker Hunter Shelton and his bloodhound Libby are called to a crime scene, he discovers his ex-fiancée murdered and her young daughter missing—and he’s attacked. Soon, he realizes the little girl may have been taken by drug runners, and could possibly be his own child. With no one else to turn to, Hunter teams up with DEA Agent Marlee Price and her narcotics K-9, despite their rocky history. As they face escalating threats and uncover a rising body count, an old enemy from Marlee’s past resurfaces. Will they be able to rescue the child and bring dangerous criminals to justice before time runs out?

From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.

MY REVIEW:

This story took my breath away so many times! Lots of twists, danger, and action around every corner and in every chapter. I didn’t know who was on Hunter and Marlee’s side and who were against them.

Hunter and Marlee are reunited after a traumatic death pushed them apart. Now they are working together to solve a murder and find a missing girl. The characters (and dogs!) were so good, and the story line kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I also liked how Hunter was not afraid to share his belief in God and how God forgave him for his past sins and helped him become a better man.

Highly recommend this book if you like fast paced, clean Christian suspense. I absolutely loved it! I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.
