Deputy Mattie Cobb is in a dark place and has withdrawn from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
everything—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 and 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 heart-pounding third
installment in Margaret Mizushima’s exhilarating Timber
Creek K-9 mysteries.
