A routine welfare check becomes a nightmare when Deputy Mattie Walker finds a young mother dead and a hysterical toddler, possibly the only witness to a brutal crime. Before the investigative team can start piecing together what happened, Mattie discovers another criminal act in Timber Creek.
During a traffic stop for speeding, Mattie observes a nervous driver and a teenage passenger frozen with fear. A quick sweep of the car with her K-9 partner, Robo, reveals a dangerous mix of drugs and suspected human trafficking, providing Mattie with grounds to arrest the driver. After she places the teenager in protective custody, the sheriff’s department hands the case over to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
As the team gathers evidence and information, Mattie’s husband, veterinarian Cole Walker, notices suspicious activity during ambulatory calls at dog kennels, indicating yet a third crime lurking in the shadows. What begins as isolated incidents quickly reveals a chilling Organized crime has infiltrated their rural mountain community.
Every clue leads to more questions, and each answer brings them closer to greater danger. Do Mattie and her law enforcement partners have what it takes to shut down this criminal ring before it claims more victims? And could its next victim be someone Mattie loves? (Summary via Goodreads)
Fighting Edge, the eleventh book in the Timber Creek K-9 Mystery series by Margaret Mizushima, is a fast paced, on the edge of your seat story .... just like the previous ten books were.
In Fighting Edge main character Deputy Mattie Walker starts her day on a routine welfare check for a young mother and her infant daughter which ends up a homicide investigation. Then before she can wrap her head around that a routine traffic stop leads to a drug bust and a questionable relationship between the occupants.
Between these two instances Mattie, her K-9 dog Robo and the rest of her team will be lead down a rocky and emotional road.
Then there is Mattie's veterinarian husband Cole who takes on a new client to check a dog for breeding purposes and that turns into so much more and may tie into Mattie's cases.
