The Longest Day: K-9 Search & Rescue Mysteries, Book 10
By Sophie Lyon
Stella Briggs is six years old. She’s been missing from her family’s campsite since nine o’clock last night. And she is not alone in those mountains.
Eight and a half months pregnant, she pushed herself upright against the headboard while Marco reached across her for the nightstand. A missing child. An abandoned campsite. Boot prints in the dirt that don’t belong to any six-year-old. As Kate and Scout mount the primary search and Marco coordinates law enforcement, Gemma takes command from staging, fighting every instinct that tells her to run into the trees and find this child herself.
Stella is alive. Scout confirms it. She is moving through the backcountry with the terrified logic of a small child who has seen something she was never supposed to see, something that sent her running into the dark before anyone knew she was gone.
And then the boot prints lead into an abandoned mine shaft, and everything about the search changes.
Meanwhile, Kira, her muzzle gone entirely gray, her joints stiff from years of mountain trails, rises from her place at the command post and does what working dogs do when everything is on the line. One last time. Her finest work.
The Longest Day is the emotional heart of the entire series, the search that tests every handler, breaks every heart, and cements Kira’s legacy as the greatest air-scent dog in six counties.
Perfect for fans of Nevada Barr, Margaret Mizushima, and Robert Crais. Have tissues ready.
Book 10 of 14. Kira’s final and greatest search. Start with Book 1: Trail Gone Dark.
