Deputy Mattie Cobb is in a dark place and has withdrawn from Cole Walker and his family to work on issues from her past. When she and her K-9 partner Robo get called to track a missing junior high student, they find the girl dead on Smokerβs Hill behind the high school, and Mattie must head to the Walker home to break the bad news. But thatβs only the start of trouble in Timber Creek, because soon another girl goes missingβand this time itβs one of Coleβs daughters.
Knowing that each hour a child remains missing lessens the probability of finding her alive, Mattie and Robo lead the hunt while Cole and community volunteers join in to search everywhere. To no avail. It seems that someone has snatched all trace of the Walker girl from their midst, including her scent. Grasping at straws, Mattie and Robo follow a phoned-in tip into the dense forest, where they hope to find a trace of the girlβs scent and to rescue her alive. But when Robo does catch her scent, it leads them to information that challenges everything they thought they knew about the case.
Mattie and Robo must rush to hunt down the kidnapper before theyβre too late in Hunting Hour, the third installment in critically acclaimed author Margaret Mizushimaβs exhilarating mystery series.
