Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
North Carolina native Raine Stockton, a dog trainer and the ex-wife of a deputy sheriff, knows the woods of Hanover County as well as anyone. She stopped volunteering for Search and Rescue work after a tragic loss, but now she reluctantly returns to active duty-along with a young and inexperienced Golden Retriever named Cisco-to help find a mother and six-year-old girl who have been kidnapped and taken deep into the wilderness. Suspecting there's more to the case than meets the eye, Raine must struggle to overcome her personal demons, turn her search in new directions-and learn to trust Cisco to lead the way.



Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - A gritty, suspenseful quick read for dog lovers...
I enjoyed this book enough to order the second in the series. The main character, Raine Stockton, was well-developed and interesting. I agree with another reviewer that the romance side of the book was confusing. It was hard to understand what Raine's relationship was with her ex-husband. But, perhaps the author is intending to elaborate in her subsequent book. Overall, a good choice for dog lovers.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Good dog story
I am a addicted to dog stories. One can tell That Ms. Ball is an expert in dogs, and specifically in rescue dogs. The mystery story is average at best, but the dog part is great. 3.5 stars.
P.S. This is The FIRST book in the series, NOT the SECOND!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Good Dog Mystery-much better than average
As the very first in a new series, this is very good and very interesting. It is very similar to Virginia Lanier's Bloodhound series. The same type of main character although this takes place in the Smokey Mountains rather than Georgia. This isn't a bad thing since Lanier's books were probably the best in the genre. Like Lanier, the characterization takes second place to the mystery, which I happen to enjoy. Bad mysteries and not enough characterization as in Susan Conant's dog mysteries are too boring.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A great new series!
Ms. Ball will grab your attention with the very first line of the book, and you won't be able to put it down til you have finished the last page. This is the 1st of a great new series. How can we not love a book with such a wonderful dog featured.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Solid
A solid mystery with good characters, good pacing, interesting backstory (more revealed in subsequent book) a likeable protagonist and wonderful overlay of information about search and rescue dogs.
