Her first mistake was calling 9-1-1. Drones were supposed to make life easier for Jessie and her search and rescue dogs. Instead, they've made everything a lot more complicated. Her equipment confiscated, her very freedom threatened, Jessica Anderson finds herself in the crosshairs of both law enforcement and a vicious killer when her drones discover a body on the slopes of Long Peak. When evidence points to other victims, though, it's Jessie and her search dogs who law enforcement need to find their remains. What nobody suspects, though, is that the killer is watching, waiting, anticipating ...ready. A novel of a woman and her beloved dogs, a woman who, having fled a career in law enforcement, finds herself the target of, both, the sheriff and a murderer. Clean, Safe Reading with Comfortably Sized Text No sex, gore, or profanity, plus the text and paragraphing is set for ease of reading. EDITORIAL REVIEWS "Wow! What an ending! I did not see that coming! This book really took me away into a world I knew nothing about. And I love Milo, the Wonder Mutt. Some dog! In fact, after reading this book, I went over to our shelter and I, who haven't had a dog since I was a kid, adopted a needy mutt that the lady said really needed a home. (Ours isn't a no-kill shelter.) My new pal is not even close to being Milo, but he's presently sleeping on the sofa, snoring away, and I can already tell that we're going to be pals. That should tell you something about this book! Well worth the time to read it!" --L. L. Alexander, freelance editor "I'm a huge fan of K-9 mysteries, and this one, for sure, ranks right up there with my favs." --Kimberly Clarke, reader of K-9 mysteries "The characters are so real! And the dogs -- you gotta love them, the whole pack. I think the thing that really nailed it for me was Jessica, though. I could really connect with her." --Sarah Yarborough, mystery reader

An erotic masterpiece of twentieth century fiction - a tale of sensual obsession and bloodlust in eighteenth century Paris 'An astonishing tour de force both in concept and execution' Guardian In eighteenth-century France there lived a man who was one of the most gifted and abominable personages in an era that knew no lack of gifted and abominable personages. His name was Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, and if his name has been forgotten today. It is certainly not because Grenouille fell short of those more famous blackguards when it came to arrogance, misanthropy, immorality, or, more succinctly, wickedness, but because his gifts and his sole ambition were restricted to a domain that leaves no traces in history: to the fleeting realm of scent . . . 'A fantastic tale of murder and twisted eroticism controlled by a disgusted loathing of humanity . .. Clever, stylish, absorbing and well worth reading' Literary Review 'A meditation on the nature of death, desire and decay . . . A remarkable début' Peter Ackroyd, The New York Times Book Review 'Unlike anything else one has read. A phenomenon . . .
