FBI Special Agent Meg Jennings and her search-and-rescue K-9 companion confront the fury of nature--and the more dangerous nature of man . . . In the wake of a devastating hurricane, Special Agent Meg Jennings and her Labrador, Hawk--invaluable members of the FBI's Human Scent Evidence Team--have been deployed to Virginia Beach. Amid debris and the buried cries for help, the most alarming discovery is yet to come--a teenage girl hiding in the Great Dismal Swamp. Her name is Emma--a disheveled runaway lost to the sordid underbelly of a Virginia sex-trafficking ring. Its leader has disappeared in the chaos--along with other victims. Meg joins forces with Special Agent Walter Van Cleave and uncovers a vast network of abuse rooted in some of the most influential powers in Virginia. Now as Meg's investigation digs deeper, she's making some very dangerous enemies. And one by one, they're coming out of the storm to stop her.

"Tense and exciting, Sara Driscoll has created a new power couple, Meg and her FBI K-9, Hawk."
--Leo J. Maloney, author of Arch Enemy "Exceptional. . . . The descriptions of the teamwork between dog and human are detailed and dramatic. . . . Readers will hope this series has a long run."
