The instant USA Today bestseller!
The first in a gripping new series by Paula Munier, A Borrowing of
Bones is full of complex twists, introducing a wonderful new voice for
mystery readers and dog lovers.
Grief and guilt are the ghosts that haunt you when you survive what
others do not....
After their last deployment, when she got shot, her fiancé Martinez got
killed and his bomb-sniffing dog Elvis got depressed, soldier Mercy Carr
and Elvis were both sent home, her late lover's last words ringing in
her ears: "Take care of my partner."
Together the two former military police--one twenty-nine-year-old
two-legged female with wounds deeper than skin and one handsome
five-year-old four-legged Malinois with canine PTSD--march off their
grief mile after mile in the beautiful remote Vermont wilderness.
Even on the Fourth of July weekend, when all of Northshire celebrates
with fun and frolic and fireworks, it's just another walk in the woods
for Mercy and Elvis--until the dog alerts to explosives and they find a
squalling baby abandoned near a shallow grave filled with what appear to
be human bones.
U.S. Game Warden Troy Warner and his search and rescue Newfoundland
Susie Bear respond to Mercy's 911 call, and the four must work together
to track down a missing mother, solve a cold-case murder, and keep the
citizens of Northshire safe on potentially the most incendiary
Independence Day since the American Revolution.
It's a call to action Mercy and Elvis cannot ignore, no matter what the
cost.
