Publisher's summary

The stakes are higher than ever before as FBI handler Meg Jennings and her K-9 partner, Hawk, race to find survivors after a building collapses in Sara Driscoll's gripping, timely new mystery featuring a K-9 search-and-rescue unit in Washington, D.C. For friends of harder-edged crime fiction by authors like Melinda Leigh, Kendra Elliot, Iris Johansen, and Robert Krais.

There are situations that fill even the most seasoned FBI K-9 handlers with shock and horror. Meg Jennings is preparing for another workday when she gets word of a catastrophic scene in downtown Washington, D.C. Part of a twelve-story condo building has collapsed, and the rest of the structure could soon follow. Every search-and-rescue worker and K-9 team is needed on-site immediately to find survivors—and assess the casualties.

Putting aside her fears for her firefighter fiancé, who's already inside the unstable building, Meg turns to the task at hand. If anyone is still alive within the rubble, she and Hawk, working alongside other K-9 teams, must find them. Every hour, every moment counts—and a wrong move could trigger a deadly chain reaction for those buried beneath. But beyond the present danger is a deeper threat, as evidence indicates that this wasn't a random tragedy, but an act of domestic terrorism. And identifying the culprit and the motivation, in time to stop another attack, means taking on an enemy with terrifying skills—and nothing left to lose.

Well researched, great chapter in FBI canine. looking forward to the next!

Great storyline, well researched... makes you think about how much first responders risk every single day.

Yet another ballpark home run

Sara amazes yet again as she brings these much beloved characters to life. I love the tidbits that each chapter brings as a way of educating me as we’re navigated through the story.

Another fine tale in the series

Every tale of Hawk, Meg, and their friends just gets better. I loved the first one and haven’t been disappointed. The suspense and love of animals has been sustained once again and if I had a tail like Hawk it would be wagging furiously with anticipation for the next novel.

Great Story and Details

Poor choice in readers. Monotone and boring reader. Character Kara is just irritating. Otherwise great accurate story.

More depression then adventure

This story started off very serious, and that is just fine but I feel that there was 3/4th depression and 1/4th adventure and relationships.
If I didn’t love the previous books so much, I would have stopped listening and returned the book.

heart wrenching story

These words are always intriguing with you from the beginning, you can’t settle down or turn them off and even though they’re about very difficult subjects they always end in a nice way realistically but you don’t come back from putting the book down, feeling bad you always feel lifted up

Depressed?

I have loved this series until this one. Yes, this is a serious subject. In previous books the author has spent some time on the horror of these crimes but focused most attention on solving the crimes and the personal lives of the main characters. This book seems written by a different person or very depressed author losing interest. 80% of the story is about the horror of looking for body parts at a bombing site. I spent hours crying this weekend over this story. The resolution was rushed. It is an effective story but life is depressing enough without having to wallow in it.

Not my favorite in the series

Any other books in the Series are much better than this one. It's good, just not great. 

This story was well researched and well written

I’ve enjoyed every book in this series. These books are different from the usual detective or crime stories and the K-9 aspect is always so interesting. Sara Driscoll does not disappoint. I hope there will be more books in this series.

Don’t buy this book unless you WANT to be depressed! Extremely disappointing!

Loved the previous books, hated this one. If I wanted to be depressed for hours, I’d watch the news. I listen to books to be entertained and escape the real world. This book was certainly not worth the time invested in listening and crying and wishing I’d never heard of it. There are always some grim parts in the type of work done by the FBI K-9 unit, but this book is a slog through hell. Very little time is invested in the protagonists compared to the horrors of collapsing high-rise buildings. It’s too much like 9/11 on a smaller scale.
