Blurb:
The escape of Veronica Kildare's vindictive, long-time nemesis from prison overshadows what should be a festive holiday season for her and her team. Law enforcement is convinced that Tommy Arnett perished in a fiery car accident, but Veronica can't shake the sinking feeling that she hasn't escaped that easily from his relentless pursuit of revenge against her.
Other unsettling factors are swirling through Colorado along with the encroaching harsh winter weather as Veronica and her Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Leda, search for several missing young women who've been abducted and pitilessly left to face the elements, and the daughters of her search and rescue partner, Sgt. Tim Donovan, are targeted by a mysterious man with an unknown agenda. All is not as it seems with regard to the kidnappings, however, as one case ties back to a local thoroughbred racetrack where a nefarious scheme has been enacted by a villain willing to eliminate anyone who stands in their way.
While Veronica also trains a C. diff sniffing canine for nursing homes and a dog able to identify illegal equine performance-enhancing drugs at Blue Columbine Downs, she and her father examine the undercurrents affecting the racetrack in an effort to pinpoint the source of the wrongdoing there.
As malign forces gather around them, will Veronica and Leda be able to outrun a terrible fate when their brutal past and their present day life collide?

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -
I loved this story, and the narration by Alyssa Baumann added more to it. Wonderful job. As to the story, I enjoyed the descriptions of how to train and what to train the dogs for. I found it very interesting. There were a fair amount of search and rescues amongst the main thread with the race horses, all with happy endings. Veronica was such a trooper with all the requests that came to her and couldn't say no. I also loved the depth of the relationship and friendships that were explored in this story. I had moments of tears and breath holding as the end of the book came closer. Well worth reading/listening to.
I received an audiobook ARC, and this is my unsolicited review.
