Building on her series featuring forensic sculptor Eve Duncan, bestselling suspense writer Iris Johansen takes a different tangent with her latest thriller. The search and rescue team of Sarah Patrick and her golden retriever, Monty, first appeared in a previous installment, where they helped track down a kidnapped child and a killer. Now, John Logan, a billionaire who once pursued Eve, needs Sarah and Monty's skills for a dangerous mission. Although rewarding, their rescue work takes an emotional toll, and Sarah is initially resistant to Logan's request. However, he pressures her into accepting the mission to find a kidnapped scientist in Colombia, threatening her job and peace of mind. The kidnapper, a ruthless killer seeking revenge on Logan, complicates matters further. When Monty is injured during the rescue, Sarah's resentment toward Logan grows. After the mission, they retreat to Sarah's cabin to recover, where she struggles to push Logan away despite his injuries. As they confront their feelings, a spark ignites between them, leading to an unexpected passion. With Logan's nemesis, Rudzak, likely to target Sarah, they must navigate their evolving relationship while preparing for the inevitable confrontation. Fans of Johansen's previous works will appreciate brief appearances by familiar characters and the introduction of a new love interest for Monty, an injured gray wolf named Maggie.
