The Search (Eve Duncan)
Four Cassettes, 6 hours
Performance by Carolyn McCormick
Iris Johansen brings back Sarah Patrick from The New York Times bestseller The Killing Game in a new novel that draws her inexorably into the path of a killer bent on revenge.
Sarah Patrick has a gift for finding what no one else can, whether it's a missing child, the survivor of a collapsed building, or the long-buried skeleton of a murder victim. Working search and rescue with Monty, her golden retriever, as part of the ATF K-9 unit, she's earned a reputation as the best when a recovery seems impossible.
Billionaire John Logan needs the best. Sarah and Monty are his only shot at locating a kidnapped scientist, and he doesn't hesitate to pull strings in Washington to get them. Sarah wants guarantees-safety for herself and Monty, and Logan's help in freeing her from a blackmailer's demands. Once she takes on the perilous assignment, though, even Logan's power may not be enough to shield her. Because the killer is watching, waiting and devising a chillingly perfect vengeance.

Review:
Search-and-rescue worker Sarah Patrick and Monty, her talented golden retriever, take center stage in this deft, suspenseful outing. The immensely appealing heroine was introduced as a secondary character in Iris Johansen's previous thriller The Killing Game. Back, too, is John Logan from Face of Deception, the charismatic billionaire whose very personal vendetta against a stop-at-nothing killer pulls Sarah into a high-stakes game of search and destroy.
From the Back Cover:
When Logan's top-secret research station in South America is attacked and his chief scientist kidnapped, Sarah and Monty manage to track the hostage through the jungle and save his life. But that's only the beginning in what turns out to be a series of sadistic and deadly attempts to destroy Logan. Despite Sarah's initial distrust, she comes to respect and ultimately love Logan--which makes her and Monty targets for the killer's vengeance, too. The action moves swiftly across the globe, from the American Southwest to Colombia to Taiwan, and finally to North Dakota, in a tense, dramatic denouement. Johansen manages to explicate her characters' back-stories and illuminate their motivation as she moves the action forward with skillful pacing. Fans of the author's previous suspense thrillers featuring forensic sculptor Eve Duncan won't be disappointed that she plays only a bit part in Johansen's newest; Sarah and Monty are worth a series of their own, and The Search is a terrific beginning. --Jane Adams
