FBI handler Meg Jennings and her search-and-rescue K-9 partner are heading south where it’s hunting season. But this time the prey is human. “For dog lovers and action fans. Dogs-in-action junkies will be transported.” —Kirkus Reviews “Fascinating…Fans will look forward to Meg’s further adventures.” —Publishers Weekly One arrow through the heart could be a tragic hunting accident.

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 FBI’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. At its heart, 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 . . .

Leave No Trace by Sara Driscoll is a wonderful new episode in the Meg Jennings FBI’s Forensic Canine Unit mysteries. Leave No Trace is fast-paced action and the plot will have you searching for those clues! Meg Jennings and Brian Foster along with their K-9 partners are dispatched to the regions of Blue Ridge, Georgia to track a killer. The hunt becomes very different than how they usually track a suspect. This killer moves through the woodlands and river areas silently and leaving no trace of footprints. The scene of Meg battling to escape her fall into the river was heart pounding! Then the snake!! This is Sara Driscolls best in this series, I could not put my Kindle down until I finished this book.
There are several layers to the reasons behind why a suspect would want to target employees of the government and TVA due to the proposed dam in an already contested land area. The history of how tribal lands were taken from native people is heartbreaking.
The K-9 officers, Hawk and Lacey command my respect and admiration. I hope in the next book we read good news for Lacey. The weapon used in the killings is so interesting. I have used a compound bow for target practice, and it takes a lot of skill!
