When a toddler goes missing, a K-9 team must move fast.
A family trip to the Wind Caves National Park quickly turns into a nightmare when K-9 officer Kenyon Graves discovers one of his twin boys has been abducted. Now Kenyon needs the help of his team and his longtime friend Raina McCord to save his toddler son. But the kidnappers are elusive—and intent on killing anyone who stands in the way of their sinister scheme. With threats closing in, time is of the essence to catch these criminals…before Kenyon and Raina pay the ultimate price.
The Dakota K-9 Unit series is a Love Inspired Suspense continuity series that follows a team of law enforcement officers and their highly trained K-9 partners as they investigate kidnappings, murders, and organized crime across North Dakota and South Dakota. Each story combines high-stakes danger with threads of faith, trust, and protection.
The series spans key locations across the region, including Badlands National Park in Deadly Badlands Pursuit by Sharee Stover and Tracing Killer Evidence by Jodie Bailey, Mount Rushmore in Standing Watch by Terri Reed, and Wind Cave National Park in Double Protection Duty by Sharon Dunn. Additional settings include Fargo in Cold Case Peril by Maggie K. Black, Black Hills National Forest in Final Showdown by Valerie Hansen, and fictional towns such as Plains City and Cold River that connect the broader investigation.
The series begins with Chasing a Kidnapper by Laura Scott, where a K-9 team races to stop a child abductor, and continues through multiple connected cases involving witness protection, cold cases, and revenge-driven crimes.
Across all ten books, the Dakota K-9 Unit works together to track suspects, protect the vulnerable, and bring criminals to justice, often in remote terrain where time and terrain add to the danger. Each installment stands alone while contributing to an overarching network of cases tied to a larger criminal threat.
