Furtive Prey: A Jessica Anderson K-9 Mystery

In the Bitterroots, during a chilly March, Jessie and her newly-wedded husband Landon are making their way back home from their honeymoon when a startling incident occurs. As they travel, an HSI special agent and U.S. Marshals suddenly pull Landon from their car and whisk him away in a helicopter, leaving Jessie perplexed and concerned.

This abrupt event triggers a crisis of national security proportions. Jessie, the local Sheriff Landon Reid, the FBI's regional director, Special-Agent-in-Charge Andy Newsome, and the Department of Homeland Security find themselves embroiled in a complex situation. It transpires that a highly advanced organoid intelligence - an experimental biocomputer utilizing laboratory-grown human brain tissue infused with AI - has been stolen from a DARPA lab in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The signal from this stolen technology is detected emanating from somewhere within Bitterroot County, but its exact location remains elusive.

Facing these impossible odds, Jessie and her trusted pack of search dogs are called upon to assist in the pursuit of the thieves and the recovery of the stolen top-secret technology. As the investigation intensifies, the story unfolds, pitting Sheriff Landon Reid against the formidable forces of the Department of Homeland Security, with the FBI's regional director caught in the middle, trying to navigate the delicate situation.

Throughout the thrilling narrative, the reader is treated to a captivating tale of a woman and her beloved search dogs, who demonstrate their unwavering determination and skill in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. The story is free of sex, gore, and profanity, providing a clean, safe reading experience. Notably, no dogs are harmed in the course of the events, a testament to the author's commitment to the well-being of these beloved canine characters.
