Synopsis

The first in a gripping new mystery series by literary agent Paula Munier, about a retired MP and bomb-sniffing dog who become embroiled in an investigation in the beautiful Vermont wilderness

It may be the Fourth of July weekend, but for retired soldier Mercy Carr and Belgian Malinois Elvis, it's just another walk in the remote Lye Brook Wilderness--until the former bomb-sniffing dog alerts to explosives and they find a squalling baby abandoned near a shallow grave filled with what appear to be human bones. U.S. Game Warden Troy Warner and his search-and rescue Newfoundland Susie Bear respond to Mercy's 911 call, and the four must work together to track down a missing mother, solve a cold-case murder, and keep the citizens of Vermont safe on potentially the most incendiary Independence Day since the American Revolution.

Paula Munier is a crime and mystery literary agent with extensive connections in the mystery community. She regularly sells out virtual writing workshops for hundreds of students and is prominent member of Mystery Writers of America and has served as president of the New England chapter of MWA for four terms and is currently a board member. Paula has served on the New England Crime Bake committee for ten years and counting, is a leader for the Algonkian New York Pitch conference and a Writers Digest workshop leader and writer. She's an active member of Sisters in Crime, ITW, AWP, and SCBWI. Paula is in contact with the crime writers who run the Jungle Red Writers website. As an agent, she attends SF Writers, Thrillerfest, Writers Digest, Bouchercon, Book Expo, AWP, and more conferences every year.

A Borrowing of Bones is full of complex twists and real details about search-and-rescue dog training that Paula has learned through the training of her own dog. With its canine sidekicks and procedural plot, this series is well-positioned to become "Julia Spencer-Fleming with dogs" and will be a must-have for mystery fans.

Synopsis

Grief and guilt are the ghosts that haunt you when you survive what others do not....

After their last deployment, when she got shot, her fianc Martinez got killed and his bomb-sniffing dog Elvis got depressed, soldier Mercy Carr and Elvis were both sent home, her late lover's last words ringing in her ears: "Take care of my partner."

Together the two former military police--one twenty-nine-year-old two-legged female with wounds deeper than skin and one handsome five-year-old four-legged Malinois with canine PTSD--march off their grief mile after mile in the beautiful remote Vermont wilderness.

Even on the Fourth of July weekend, when all of Northshire celebrates with fun and frolic and fireworks, it's just another walk in the woods for Mercy and Elvis--until the dog alerts to explosives and they find a squalling baby abandoned near a shallow grave filled with what appear to be human bones.

U.S. Game Warden Troy Warner and his search-and rescue Newfoundland Susie Bear respond to Mercy's 911 call, and the four must work together to track down a missing mother, solve a cold-case murder, and keep the citizens of Northshire safe on potentially the most incendiary Independence Day since the American Revolution.

It's a call to action Mercy and Elvis cannot ignore, no matter what the cost.

The first in a gripping new series, A Borrowing of Bones is full of complex twists, introducing a wonderful new voice for mystery readers and dog lovers.
