Burton’s follow-up to
The Keepers is an intricately plotted, fast-paced story. When Kenneth Druckman, CEO of a financial group, reports a home invasion and the kidnapping of his wife and five-year-old daughter, the FBI special agent in charge calls Mace Reid to bring in his pack of human remains–detection dogs. Soon Vira, Mace’s golden retriever finds the body of Druckman’s wife. Then Vira follows a trail that seems to implicate Druckman in the crime. In a complex investigation with twisted villains, Mace and Vira, along with Mace’s girlfriend Officer Kippy Gimm, search for the missing girl. Money and jewels are involved, and it isn’t long before several Russians and a secretive millionaire are on the lookout for the missing child too.
VERDICT Tension is alleviated in Burton’s suspenseful mystery by the dogs, who have well-developed characters, and by Mace’s irreverent, wry humor. For fans of K-9 mysteries.
