Killer Abyss

By Sara Driscoll

For FBI handler Meg Jennings and her K-9 partner, Hawk, the search for a missing girl leads to the underground caves of Kentucky--ones darker than she ever fathomed.

No descent into the unknown has ever been too treacherous for Meg Jennings and her colleagues in the FBI K-9 unit. They are prepared for anything. But when 14-year old Larissa Whorlow disappears on her way home from school in Nashville, Tennessee, Meg may be proved wrong.

Their only hope is a tracker tag on Larissa's shoe, worn at her protective mother's insistence. Unfortunately, the trail stops dead at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. Meg and her black Labrador, Hawk, are among four teams scrambling to solve a kidnapping that has crossed state lines. All Meg can do is follow Hawk, who's on the scent of the missing girl--right through a narrow break in a limestone rise and straight into a cavernous labyrinth.

With all communication cut off and miles of undiscovered passages and subterranean rivers to navigate, Meg's search gets deeper and darker with every uncertain move forward. Then, at the edge of a dangerous abyss, Meg makes a shocking discovery and realizes that Larissa's vanishing was no random snatch and grab. It's the work of a serial killer who's pulling Meg into a terrifying game of hide-and-seek. And the only way out is through the blackness below.

Trusting can land you dead.

I received this book from NetGalley with no expectations of a positive review. This book starts with Meg, Brian and the K-9 rescue crew being sent to Mammoth Cave area to find a missing girl from Nashville, Tennesee. She wore a tracker so they could have a rough starting point to search. Meg and Hawk found a trail that led them to the tracker. From there, Hawk led them to a cave. Join Meg and Brian as they head into the cave with experienced cavers. They found a lot more than they expected. Join the team as they find the answers to the questions that plague this mystery. This is a book that will keep you turning the pages. You will not want to put it down. It is a must read for suspense fans. The ending will shock you.
