Raine Stockton lives in a lovely small Smokey Mountains town, runs a kennel, and trains dogs. She and her former dog, Cassidy were an ace tracking team.

But Cassidy has passed on and now Raine works with a new golden, Cisco. Unfortunately, Cisco is young and not completely trained, so Raine doesn't track any more. But when a young girl is lost in the mountains and no other dog teams can get there, she and Cisco give it a try.

Cisco comes through, but Raine fail to realize it until later. Because she made a mistake and because she can't get the little girl out of her mind, she involves herself in the investigation.

So Raine and Cisco, working together, are off and tracking the lost little girl and the murderer as well, but it is going to be hard and dangerous duty.

This is a well written mystery with a good sense of place and excellent characters. The fact that several of the main characters are dogs only makes it better.
