This is Iris Johansen's third book in her series featuring Eve Duncan, although it's the first one I've read. What can I say? Now that I've tried one, I have to go check out the others.

From back cover:
He strikes without warning.
He kills without mercy.
He's only just begun.
As part of an elite K-9 search and rescue team, Sarah Patrick and her golden retriever, Monty, have a gift for finding what no one else can. But their latest assignment is not like the others. This time Sarah is being forced to take part in a deadly mission ... by a man who knows enough about her past to ensure her cooperation.
Billionaire John Logan's top-secret venture has been sabotaged, its facilities destroyed, and its handpicked staff massacred. The sole survivor is being held for ransom. Logan knows that the only way to save the man -- and the secrets he holds -- is to find him as soon as possible.
Sarah is furious when she is strong-armed into joining Logan on his search. And once she takes the perilous assignment, not even Logan's promises that she and Monty will be safe may be enough to protect them. Because a killer is devising a sadistic vengeance ... and he may soon find use for Sarah.

This book was what I had hoped Dean Koontz's Darkest Evening of the Year would be like: a thriller in which a golden retriever features prominently, with plenty of action and romance. The story centers around a woman and her search and rescue dog Monty. They are unwittingly caught up in a scenario involving industrial espionage, murder, and revenge.

Dog lovers will adore Monty, and this book does provide an interesting look into the world of canine search and rescue. The book follows the usual Johansen format - the briskly moving plot whisks readers to different corners of the earth, and a strong yet vulnerable heroine saves the day with the help of a men she is not sure she can trust. This is an enjoyable quick read.

I couldn't put this book down. I'm regretting it today as I didn't close my eyes to sleep until 2am. Great quick read and I love the characters. If you're a dog lover you'll love the main character in this book, Monty the golden retriever. You won't regret this book.

For better or for worse, Johansen pushes the gender boundary in popular fiction, offering up that rarity: a woman's novel for men.

If you like dogs, a little mystery/adventure and a good looking man you'll like this book. Sarah and Monty (the dog) have a neat relationship. This romance is a little different because it is the female character that really evolves with the help of the hunky hero. An enjoyable read.

Another "spin-off" from the Eve Duncan series. You rooted for Logan and Sarah in those books and now they have their own story. The K-9 aspect was a very nice touch.

Iris Johansen is good at writing suspense stories while keeping the sexuality to a minimum. In The Search she has again proven herself to be a good suspense author as Sarah Patrick and her best friend (dog) Monty are on a search to save the world...
