Dogged Pursuit

Hounding Killers Can Be a Deadly Business . . .

Jack Field thinks that nothing can dampen his spirits this beautiful Maine October, what with his wedding to smart and sexy state medical examiner Dr. Jamie Cutter only weeks away. But when he hears about a young woman's body found in a nearby lake -- a body that could be that of Jack's young runaway employee who's been fleeing a stalker she claimed murdered her mother -- the ex-cop kennel owner is chilled to the bone. And soon a black cloud gathers and darkens the couple's happy days, because a sadistic serial killer is using the pristine New England woods for a hunting ground.

The quiet, uncomplicated nuptials Jack and Jamie were looking forward to now seem as unlikely as a dog day in December. And if Jack and his loyal canine companions can't sniff out the grim truth about twenty monstrous murders, his joyous wedding with Jamie may soon turn into a double funeral.
