The discovery shifts his role from search-and-rescue to confronting a deeper conspiracy: evidence suggests she was not alone and that her daughter may be involved. As gunfire echoes nearby and a sniper remains out there, Hunter and Marlee face escalating danger, strained instincts, and urgent decisions to survive and uncover the truth.","Bark from the tree exploded into flying bits…  \nThe echo of a gunshot bounced between the canyon walls.  \n“Get down!” Marlee yelled. She shoved Hunter and her K-9 down as bullets whistled over their heads. They were open targets, unprotected. With each blast around them, she felt her body tense. Her gun arm trembled like never before. She was always a sure and steady shot.  \nWhat was going on with her?  \nHunter sprawled low beside Marlee and the concern in his eyes told her he saw it, too. She wanted him to stop looking at her like that…like something was wrong with her.  \nThe rapid beat of her pulse echoed through her head and she forced her breath to slow. She became aware of her erratic breathing.  \n“Marlee, talk to me,” Hunter said, glancing around, bracing for the next shot. The sniper was still around.  \nYet she couldn’t respond…  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nKaty Lee is a Publishers Weekly bestselling author who writes character-driven romantic suspense that thrills and inspires readers.

One whiff had Hunter Shelton’s tawny search and rescue bloodhound, Libby, picking up her sleepy steps toward a slew of deputies from the Randall County Sheriff ’s Department. Typically, only coyotes and jackrabbits traipsed through Harmony Canyon State Park in the middle of the night—and the occasional hiker who didn’t return from a trek through the eighty-mile-long and eight-hundred-foot-deep canyon. For Hunter, 2:00 [a.m. phone](a.m. phone) calls typically meant someone had gone missing. Except this time, the body on the ground, lying facedown, with her long red hair knotted and splayed around her, wasn’t in need of rescue any longer.  \nPerhaps if he had been called in sooner, the woman would have made it.  \n“Since when do I get called out for a crime scene? Not much Libby and I can do for her now.” Hunter sidled up to Sheriff Steph H","cbCaicCkOttnLcA0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicCkOttnLcA0","pdf",1671184,196,"English","en",105,"# One\n# Two\n# Three\n# Four\n# Five\n# Six\n# Seven\n# Eight\n# Nine\n# Ten\n# Eleven\n# Twelve\n# Thirteen\n# Fourteen\n# Fifteen\n# Sixteen\n# Seventeen\n# Eighteen\n# Nineteen\n# Twenty\n# Dear Reader\n# Excerpt\n# About the Publisher","[{\"question\":\"Why is Hunter Shelton called to the scene?\",\"answer\":\"His K-9 alerts law enforcement to a large amount of blood, indicating a missing-person case typical of his search-and-rescue work.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is the murdered woman Hunter finds?\",\"answer\":\"Sheriff Hawkins tells Hunter the victim is Donna, his former fiancée.\"},{\"question\":\"What new information changes the investigation?\",\"answer\":\"Deputy Willis reveals evidence that Donna was with her daughter, indicating the case involves more than a single victim.\"}]",1785402308,302,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":84,"head_meta":86,"extra_data":88,"updated_unix":26},"tracing-a-kidnappers-trail-katy-lee","",{"@graph":34,"@context":83},[35,52,66],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/tracing-a-kidnappers-trail-katy-lee/114700/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":60,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":61,"interactionStatistic":62},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-30",true,{"@type":63,"interactionType":64,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":65},"ViewAction",{"@type":67,"mainEntity":68},"FAQPage",[69,75,79],{"name":70,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":72},"Why is Hunter Shelton called to the scene?","Question",{"text":73,"@type":74},"His K-9 alerts law enforcement to a large amount of blood, indicating a missing-person case typical of his search-and-rescue work.","Answer",{"name":76,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":77},"Who is the murdered woman Hunter finds?",{"text":78,"@type":74},"Sheriff Hawkins tells Hunter the victim is Donna, his former fiancée.",{"name":80,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":81},"What new information changes the investigation?",{"text":82,"@type":74},"Deputy Willis reveals evidence that Donna was with her daughter, indicating the case involves more than a single victim.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":85,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":87,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":90},[91,94,98,102,107,112,117,122,127,130,134],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":93},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":95,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":97},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":99,"show_sort_weight":100,"slug":101},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":103,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":108,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
