Synopsis
The disappearance of Camden County’s richest couple pulls Haley Richardson and her fiancé, Sheriff Dane Campbell, into a web of deceit, darkness, and death. A childhood accident gave Haley a canine’s superior ability to detect scents, including people’s emotions. With the help of Jax, her faithful search-and-rescue dog, Haley inserts herself into the lives of the missing couple’s adult children, only to find a family with a twisted history and a lot of enemies. When another member of the family disappears, Dane and Haley weigh a disturbing possibility: Has a long-forgotten incident come back to haunt the family? When the truth is uncovered, Haley and Jax race to save a life. Will Haley’s superior sense of scents help her to rescue someone she cares about? Or is she tracking the scent of death?
