About Burning Ridge: On a rugged Colorado mountain ridge, Mattie Cobb and her police dog partner Robo make a grisly discovery—and become the targets of a ruthless killer.

Colorado’s Redstone Ridge is a place of extraordinary beauty, but this rugged mountain wilderness harbors a horrifying secret. When a charred body is discovered in a shallow grave on the ridge, officer Mattie Cobb and her K-9 partner Robo are called in to spearhead the investigation. But this is no ordinary crime—and it soon becomes clear that Mattie has a close personal connection to the dead man.

Joined by local veterinarian Cole Walker, Mattie and Robo scour the mountaintop for evidence and make another gruesome discovery: the skeletonized remains of two adults and a child. And then, the unthinkable happens. Could Mattie become the next victim in the murderer’s deadly game?

A deranged killer torments Mattie with a litany of dark secrets that call into question her very identity. As a towering blaze races across the ridge, Cole and Robo launch a desperate search—but time is running out…

An intense, engaging, exhilarating tale that unfolds against the backdrop of a ticking clock, Burning Ridge sizzles from start to finish. Meticulously plotted and filled with unexpected twists and turns, Burning Ridge teems with bone-chilling suspense. Much more than a mystery, Burning Ridge also includes fascinating insights about the world of K-9 cops. Margaret Mizushima delivers an outstanding new installment in the Timber Creek K-9 series in Burning Ridge, a pulse-quickening novel that will leave readers gasping for breath.
