The debut book in the Veronica Kildare K-9 Mystery series opens with
escalating suspense and intensifies into a resilient fight for survival.
With its engaging combination of canine and human personalities, thrilling
plot, and gorgeous Colorado backdrop, Dogged Pursuit will appeal to dog
lovers, outdoors enthusiasts, and mystery lovers alike.
Veronica Kildare cannot believe her luck–being shot at, again, by the
bad guys. The sound, the feel of the bullet, and the hatred resonate for
more than just the transitory moment of impact. She has relocated to a new
state, but brutality has rampaged into this life as well. As the survivor of
a senseless act of violence in her former life, Veronica struggles to
recover from the lingering physical and emotional scars by working as a dog
handler near Boulder, Colorado. Empowered by her intense bond with her
search and rescue and drug detection dog, Leda, she finally begins to shake
off the pain of her past. Then Veronica is drawn into the puzzling search
for a scientist who has vanished near Rocky Mountain National Park.
Dr. Randy Jeffers has inexplicably disappeared on the eve of his testimony
in the high profile murder trial of a pro basketball player and the police
are baffled. As Veronica and Leda traverse rugged Roosevelt National Forest
in a desperate search testing the limits of their abilities, it is not
initially clear who has targeted Dr. Jeffers, or why. But it becomes
shockingly obvious that someone will stop at nothing to silence him forever.
The kidnappers with murder on their mind have guns, but Veronica has Leda
and her own blossoming resilience as her weapons in their struggle for
survival.
