Deputy Mattie Cobb is in a dark place and has withdrawn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 Smoker’s Hill behind the high school, and Mattie
must head to the Walker home to break the bad news. But
that’s only the start of trouble in Timber Creek, because
soon another girl goes missing—and this time it’s one of
Cole’s 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 girl’s 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 they’re too late in Hunting Hour, the third
installment in critically acclaimed author Margaret
Mizushima’s exhilarating mystery series.
