Solving an abduction case  

means a relentless K-9 manhunt… 

When search and rescue worker Hunter Shelton and his bloodhound Libby are called to a crime scene, he discovers his ex-fiancée murdered and her young daughter missing—and he's attacked. Soon, he realizes the little girl may have been taken by drug runners, and could possibly be his own child. With no one else to turn to, Hunter teams up with DEA Agent Marlee Price and her narcotics K-9, despite their rocky history. As they face escalating threats and uncover a rising body count, an old enemy from Marlee's past resurfaces. Will they be able to rescue the child and bring dangerous criminals to justice before time runs out? 

 From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.  

I really enjoy Christian Mystery Suspense novels. Tracing a Kidnapper's Trail  by Katy Lee is the latest in this genre that I have read. It is Book 18 in K-9 Search and Rescue Series. The series is written by various authors and the books are great as Stand Alone novels.I have read several in this series and I also enjoy the LOVE Inspired series. 

WOW, this storyline caught my attention right away. Hunter Shelton and his dog, Libby, who are Search and Rescue workers, are heartbroken to come to a murder scene to discover his ex-fiance murdered. Even more devastated when he learns a child has been kidnapped and the little girl might be his daughter that he never knew about. The case becomes very involved and not one he can work on without assistance from another detective. Marlee Price and her K-9 dog join forces with Hunter and Libby to help find the missing child and capture the suspects. Danger is lurking for both Hunter and especially Marlee. Time is of the essence to find the missing child. The pair is finding they are falling for one another, but they need to deal with their pasts to be able to move forward. The story has many twists and turns, unexpected happenings, but it keep me wanting to continue to read until the end. The book is one of Faith, Family, Mystery and  Romance. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Mystery. FANTASTIC BOOK!
