Smoky Mountain Tracks (Raine Stockton Dog Mysteries Series #1)

First Book in the Raine Stockton Dog Mystery series!

Dog trainer and wilderness expert Raine Stockton is just a small town girl from the mountains of North Carolina with man troubles, money troubles, and dog troubles. But when her ex-husband, a deputy sheriff with troubles of his own, calls her in on her first search-and-rescue mission in two years, Raine knows her life is about to get much more complicated. A child has been kidnapped and taken deep into the Nantahala wilderness, and Raine is her only hope.

But as Raine's young, unproven golden retriever, Cisco, picks up the trail, his enthusiasm failes to make up for his lack of experience, and their first effort as a search team ends in disaster... and the discovery of the kidnapper, shot dead. With time running out and the trail growing cold, Raine must overcome her personal demons, turn her search in new directions, and rely upon Cisco to lead the way.
