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 F.B.I.'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. 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...

Driscoll’s enjoyable fifth FBI K-9 novel (after 2019’s No Man’s Land) takes FBI Human Scent Team agent Meg Jennings and her canine partner, Hawk, along with colleague Brian Foster and his dog, to a murder scene in a forested area of Georgia, where a sergeant in the Georgia State Patrol has been fatally shot by a three-foot-long hunting arrow. After the dogs are put on the scent, Meg and Brian follow them along a perilous path, proof of the killer’s daring and agility. Other people are later killed in a similar fashion. The suspense builds as the investigators try to figure out what connects the deaths before another victim turns up. Despite some red herrings, readers will have little trouble figuring out the guilty party. Driscoll offers a fascinating look at the training of working dogs, who are depicted as uniformly brave and obedient. The romance between Meg and her unbelievably patient boyfriend, firefighter Tom Webb, adds some depth. Fans will look forward to Meg’s further adventures. Agent: Nicole Resciniti, Seymour Agency.
