Mercy Carr and her retired bomb-sniffing dog Elvis are back in this sequel to 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, Henry sees something terrible. When a young woman is found shot through the heart with a fatal arrow, former Army MP Mercy Carr 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, along with her retired bomb-sniffing dog 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. And with an early-season blizzard fast approaching, time is running out.

"There's so much to praise here: Munier's deep knowledge of the culture of hunting (especially the bow-and-arrow variety); her brisk, incisive characterizations; the way she maintains a taut line of suspense throughout; and, best of all, her portrayals of wounded yet still courageous pairs of humans and dogs." --Booklist

"Munier's affection for the dogs she depicts, as well as Henry's sweet bond with them, will warm hearts. Readers will look forward to the irresistible Mercy and Elvis's next adventure." --Publishers Weekly
