A novel by

 
 

A land use war puts Jessie, her dogs, and the entire SAR group in the middle of mayhem and murder.

An injured horseback rider, then two missing ATVers, a gunshot through the engine of one of the machines--thus begins a strange series of wildland trail incidents, all of them on the county's public lands. When a calamity in a public park brings death and injury due to sabotage of a viewing platform, Sheriff Landon Reid shuts down all public lands. And the incidents stop ...only to start again when the trails are reopened for public enjoyment and recreation.

Hikers are hurt, mountain bikers are shot, users of off-road vehicles are found injured or dead, ATVers crushed under their machines when trails are purposely changed to lead to danger, and the sheriff's office knows they've now got a land use war going on, one that puts Jessie, her dogs, and the entire Search and Rescue group in the middle of mayhem and murder.

The story of a woman and her beloved SAR dogs who push their every limit to save the guilty and the innocent.
