Product Description:
Sarah Patrick is being forced to take part in a deadly mission by a man who knows enough about her past to ensure her cooperation. John Logan - a man who won't take no for an answer. As part of an elite K-9 search and rescue team, Sarah and her golden retriever Monty, have a gift for finding what no one else can - whether it's a survivor buried alive by an earthquake or the skeleton of a murdered child. Once Sarah starts the perilous assignment, she realises Logan's promise that she will be safe may not be enough to protect her. Because a killer is devising a sadistic vengeance and he may soon find a chilling use for Sarah!
Amazon.com 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.
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

600 MILES WERE GONE BEFORE I KNEW IT. A HIGHLY ENTERTAINING, INTERESTING, AND THOROUGHLY INVOLVING AUDIO BOOK. LOVED IT.
OF COURSE I DO TURN THEM OFF WHEN I PASS THROUGH ANY TOWN WITH MORE THAN ONE TRAFFIC LIGHT!!

Timeless... I love the fact that I can pick up a Johansen novel published eight years ago and find it wonderfully timeless.
Predictability... now that's an issue with Iris Johansen. But am I ever entertained on my way to the end of the story!
With The Search it's not any different. The heroine, Sarah Patrick, has a very close relationship to her search and rescue K9, Monty. Together they travel all over the world on their missions to dig disaster victims out of rubble, mud, or even to ... Read More

Iris Johansen is one of my favorite authors of all time. The Search is my favorite of all the books she has written so far! It takes you on an exciting, emotional ride unlike any other. A must read for any action/mystery lover.

normally one cannot re-read a mystery but the characters are so compelling here that you can reread it just for their company.OK I admit it, I like the dog the best.. but so what? the dog has empathy for people so why shouldn't I have empathy for the dog and his difficult tasks?

Having recently discovering this author I got online and ordered all I could afford of her fantastically told tales. With this one I wept and laughted and this is exactly what I need as I am sitting here with a broken arm and I need to suspend reality for a while. Not an expert on her yet but her characters were alive and I could feel their presence. A good tale well told. Won't say much about plot as it has a GREAT ending.
