It's Launch Day for LEAVE NO TRACE!

Today is finally the day when LEAVE NO TRACE, the fifth book in the FBI K-9s series, goes out into the world! **throws confetti, blows horn**

This installment is a real nail biter and an emotional roller coaster for our cast of characters. So don’t miss the book early readers are calling “another heart pounding suspense ride”, “gripping and action-packed”, and “the best book in the series to date”!

Special Agent Meg Jennings and her search-and-rescue K-9 partner are heading south where it’s hunting season. But this time the prey is human.

One arrow through the heart could be a tragic hunting accident. A second one, within days, looks more like a crime. That’s when Meg Jennings and Brian Foster of the FBI’s Forensic Canine Unit head to Georgia to investigate. With their dogs Hawk and Lacey, Meg and Brian are enlisted to follow the scent of a killer. At first, nothing seems to connect the two victims–a county commissioner and State Patrol officer.  But the blood sport around the southern town of Blue Ridge is just beginning.

As the body count rises, the compound bow killer becomes even more elusive, appearing and vanishing like a ghost. However, with each new slaying, Meg is beginning to suspect the grim design that’s escalating in the shadows. At its heart, a tragic event that reaches back nearly two centuries in Georgia’s history is now turning Blue Ridge into a hunting ground. But as Meg gets closer to solving the puzzle, the closer she is to stepping into the crosshairs of an elusive murderer with deadly aim, and motives as deep and dark as the woods . . .

And a reminder about the launch party for LEAVE NO TRACE. Once again, I’m joining forces with a group of Kensington Books authors to celebrate:

Please join me with Ellery Adams, V.M. Burns, Stephanie Graves, Jeff Gunhus, Sherry Harris, Edwin Hill, Meg Macy, Rose Pressey, Angela M. Sanders, and Karen Rose Smith as we celebrate our new releases as part of a Facebook event. Please stop by and sign up as Going or Interested to receive up to date news on the event: https://www.facebook.com/events/196606035392643. Our books all release today, but January is really blah after the holiday whirl, so we decided to liven it up by postponing our launch for one week and running it on January 5th instead. I hope you can join us. There will be a ton of prizes being given away that night, so don't miss out! See you there…
