TEE O’FALLON finishes off her K-9 SPECIAL OPS trilogy that focuses on three emotionally damaged best friends from different federal agencies who work with their specially trained dogs on a joint task force in Denver, Colorado. Each man has a past incident that caused him to choose the career path- drugs, fire, missing child. The first book, Tough Justice, focused on DEA Agent Adam Decker solving a case with a lethal street drug while cooperating with beautiful doctor, Tori Sampson. In Burning Justice, ATF Agent Brett Tanner partners up with NICB Insurance Investigator Gemma Scott to find the person behind a string of arson-related fires.
In the last book, ULTIMATE JUSTICE, FBI Agent Evan McGarry assists in a a fugitive arrest that leads to finding an abused young boy and pictures of dozens of missing kids including his twin sister who has been missing for over two decades. When the boy only opens up to hospital worker, Marlie Foxe, Evan enlists her to become the child’s guardian to help him and his German Shepherd, Blue, track down who has been taking the children and why. Marlie resists being around children after a tragedy three years ago but maybe helping Evan and Noah will bring her back to life again. Evan may lose his future while relentlessly searching for the answers to his past.
The characters from the other books are prominently featured including Deck and Tori’s wedding but each can be read as a standalone novel. Well researched police procedures along with complex characters with depth and gorgeous dogs combine for a story that will draw the reader in and keep them engaged.
While tracking down an escaped felon, FBI Special Agent Evan McGarry and his K-9, Blue, uncover a smoking hot lead on the location of dozens of missing children—including Evan’s own sister. The shocking discovery reopens cold cases throughout Colorado, along with painful wounds and the heartbreaking guilt Evan’s kept buried for decades.
Three years ago, hospital custodian Marlie Foxe’s world imploded, causing her to cut herself off from the world. But when one of the missing boys turns up at her hospital, he only allows Marlie to get close. Now, Evan needs her help with the boy—and he won’t take no for an answer. When she finally agrees to work with him, Evan suspects there’s more to the woman than she’s letting on. She’s hiding something. The question is what.
As Evan and Marlie unearth a cult targeting runaways, they’re forced to confront not only dangerous criminals but the truths they’ve both been avoiding—including the blistering passion they can no longer deny. But when more children disappear, they’ll have to risk more than just their hearts.
