Former Army MP Mercy Carr and her retired bomb-sniffing dog Elvis are
back in Blind Search, the sequel to the page-turning, critically
acclaimed A Borrowing of Bones
It's October, hunting season in the Green Mountains--and the Vermont
wilderness has never been more beautiful or more dangerous. Especially
for nine-year-old Henry, who's lost in the woods. Again. Only this time
he sees something terrible. When a young woman is found shot through the
heart with a fatal arrow, Mercy thinks that something is murder. But
Henry, a math genius whose autism often silences him when he should
speak up most, is not talking.
Now there's a murderer hiding among the hunters in the forest--and Mercy
and Elvis must team up with their crime-solving friends, game warden
Troy Warner and search-and-rescue dog Susie Bear, to find the
killer--before the killer finds Henry. When an early season blizzard
hits the mountains, cutting them off from the rest of the world, the
race is on to solve the crime, apprehend the murderer, and keep the boy
safe until the snowplows get through.
Inspired by the true search-and-rescue case of an autistic boy who got
lost in the Vermont wilderness, Paula Munier's mystery is a compelling
roller coaster ride through the worst of a surprise blizzard--and human
nature.
