    About this audiobook

    In the first book in a thrilling new series, FBI Special Agent Meg Jennings and Hawk, her loyal search-and-rescue Labrador, must race against time as they zero in on one of the deadliest killers in the country.…

    Meg and Hawk are part of the FBI’s elite K-9 unit. Hawk can sniff out bodies anywhere—living or dead—whether it’s tracking a criminal or finding a missing person. When a bomb rips apart a government building on the National Mall in Washington D.C., it takes all of the team’s extensive search-and-rescue training to locate and save the workers and visitors buried beneath the rubble.

    But even as the duo are hailed as heroes, a mad bomber remains at large, striking terror across the Eastern seaboard in a ruthless pursuit of retribution. As more bombs are detonated and the body count escalates, Meg and Hawk are brought in to a task force dedicated to stopping the unseen killer. But when the attacks spiral wide and any number of locations could be the next target, it will come down to a battle of wits and survival skills between Meg, Hawk, and the bomber they’re tracking to rescue a nation from the brink of chaos.

      Meg and her dog Hawk are FBI agents who do search and rescue and tracking. When a bomb explodes in a busy DC government building, Meg and Hawk are called in to look for survivors. A tour group of 5th graders happened to be there that day. They find some survivors including a young girl trapped in the rubble.This bombing was just the first. Reporter Clay McCord gets a communication from the bomber and lets the FBI know as soon as possible. He was a former war correspondent and now in a well-respected journalist with the Washington Post. However, the bomber strikes again before the clues in his communication can narrow down the search. This time he chooses an IRS office. Meg and Hawk are again called in but this time there were no survivors. Meg is determined to find the bomber and enlists Clay who also happens to have an unruly puppy. She tracks him down at a dog park to ask if he wants to help her investigate. This story was quite exciting as the FBI tracks down the disgruntled bomber. Along the way we learn a lot about K-9 dogs and their relationships with their handlers. I especially liked Meg's close relationship with Hawk and her grief at the loss of her previous dog who died in the line of duty.Fans of dogs and mysteries won't want to miss this one.

      What a wonderful book. Very well written. This is one of those books you cannot put down until you are done with it!!
    • 4/5
      "Lone Wolf" was a quick, thrilling read about an FBI dog handler, Meg Jennings, and her beautiful Search and Rescue labrador, Hawk. This team has the grim task of trying to find survivors after a domestic terrorist bombs a government building in Washington D.C.I loved Hawk and the other dogs in this book, and their human handlers were also interesting characters. The special partnership that was between dog and human was moving and the times they spent together when off-duty, provided a nice relief from the horrors they faces when entering bomb sites. The author aslos did a good job explaining how the dogs worked and responded to various situations."Lone Wolf" provided a good start to what could be an exciting series. Keep the dogs coming!
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book, which is the first in a new series about Meg and Hawk, members of the FBI's K-9 unit. Lone Wolf is the story of a mad bomber and the race to stop him in his tracks before there are more casualties. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

      3.5 stars.Lone Wolf is the first book in a new mystery series about an FBI K-9 team featuring Meg Jennings and her black Labrador, Hawk. They help in search and rescue as well as tracking missions and become part of a large task force chasing a bomber who is seeking to punish those who he believes wronged him.With an easy-to-read style, this was an entertaining read and should appeal to any dog lovers, as there was plenty of information on the training of working dogs, their behavior, and in particular, the bond between handler and dog.The authors introduce a host of interesting side characters including Meg's sister, Cara, who runs a dog training center, Clay, a reporter, and Todd, a fireman, as well as Brian and Lacey who are also part of the K9 team. They are all really likeable characters and I'd be interested to read more about them and hope they'll become more fleshed out in subsequent books. The mystery aspect wasn't particularly suspenseful or intense but interesting enough to keep my attention throughout. I felt Meg was portrayed a bit too much like some super intuitive superwoman who could solve anything while the rest of the task force lagged behind. Personally, I prefer characters who are slightly more flawed. However, it's a new series that definitely has potential, especially if you enjoy reading about dogs. The definitions at the start of nearly each chapter would have been better placed in the format of a list at the end of the book as there often was no connection to the chapter they introduced.

      We're beginning to see an upsurge in mysteries featuring working dogs, and I'm glad. Whether they're police dogs, war dogs, or search and rescue, dogs bring a whole new dynamic to crime-solving duos. Having read some excellent mysteries featuring human/canine teams (from authors such as Margaret Mizushima, Robert Crais, and James Rollins) I eagerly picked up Sara Driscoll's Lone Wolf. "Sara Driscoll" is actually the writing team of Jen Danna and Ann Vanderlaan, and Lone Wolf is the first book in the FBI K-9 series. The two have set up quite a good cast: Meg and her canine partner Hawk, Meg's sister Cara, Brian and his canine partner Lacey, and two men providing a bit of romantic interest, Clay McCord and Todd Webb. There is some interesting interplay between these people, and I especially liked the fact that Meg is the sort of character who's willing to go above and beyond the call as well as think outside the box. Also-- wonder of wonders-- the bosses in Meg's division are good, something that seldom seems to happen in crime fiction.The final action scene is a good one, but I felt there were a couple of hiccups in the book. The pace is uneven, and there are some awkward bits where we're allowed inside the mind of the bomber only to have his thoughts interpreted by the good guys in the next chapter. This is not only needless, it slows down the action. Perhaps the biggest hiccup for me was the dogs themselves. There wasn't enough "canine presence" to suit me during the actual manhunt. Yes, we get to "interact" with Hawk and Lacey in the dog park, and the authors use K-9 search terminology as chapter headings, but I'd really like to see more of the dogs working the actual case. I'm very interested in seeing what happens in the second book in the series.

      I received a free advance e-copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This was a very interesting take on a search, rescue, and tracking FBI K-9 unit. Someone is on a bombing spree using radio-controlled drones to transport bombs. He is seeking revenge against the government and the people working there whom he feels are responsible for his losing everything. This is a well-written novel with excellent character development and a great plot. At times I found this book to be a very emotional read. The author lets us see the unique bond between handler and dog and how they work together as one. I found the relationship between the handler and the press interesting versus the usual antagonism. This book is well worth the read and I’m looking forward to reading more about the FBI K-9 unit.

      Lone Wolf by Sara DriscollFBI K-9 Mysteries #1Megan Jennings and Hawk, her black Labrador, work for the FBI. In the first few pages they catch a murderer and set the stage for the main event of the book – finding a bomber that kills and has no interest in stopping. The plot is well laid out. The action is intense. There is truth in the description of the bomb site aftermath without being too graphic. The characters Meg and Hawk live and work with are introduced for future books in the series and romance is hinted at but not explored. I liked the book and look forward to reading more about the Meg, Hawk, the K-9 teams, Clay (the reporter) and Cara (Meg’s sister). I believe this series has great potential.Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC. This is my honest review.4 Stars

      If you love dogs and are interested in K-9 units for rescuing people in terrible situations like bombing. you will enjoy Lone Wolf (FBI K-9s #1). Sara Driscoll intensely researched the training of the search and rescue dogs with the FBI and an Austin, Texas pilot who with helicopter airport, and dog trainers. At the beginning of each chapter, there is a term associated with K-9 units for rescue. And also the main character, Megan Jennings informs about the K-9 units us as the action unfolds.With story of an angry man who use drones to bomb different buildings and hopes for many fatalities, the principles of the search and rescue team are spelled out. The writing keeps you unvolved. It is never boring and goes at fast pace. I would have liked a little more in depth portrayal of Megan Jennings but this is a start of a series so I assume that will happen as the series proceeds. I am hoping to read more about the sister that she lives with and a reporter that she partnered with. It is a very good start to a series. You will learn a lot about the bond between the handler and dog and the amazing talent of the dogs.I received this Advanced Reading Copy by making a selection from Amazon Vine books but that in no way influenced my thoughts or feelings in this review. I also posted this review only on sites meant for reading not for selling.
    • 3/5
      I was immediately drawn to this book because of the focus on the K-9 unit. That worked out well for me because this story is largely about Meg and her dog Hawk, with a strong emphasis on Hawk. The case they're working feels almost secondary, as a great deal of time is spent on showing us Meg's relationship with Hawk, along with his training. Consequently, if you don't really love dogs, I suggest passing on this book.I liked Meg and I loved Hawk. Their characters are well developed. The rest of the characters are less interesting, more one-dimensional. I felt they were just passing through the story at various times when needed, though the reporter does stand out more than the others. The author excels at showing us the emotional connection between Meg and Hawk, as well as the effects of the job on them both. We get an excellent sense of what it must be like for the first responders in a tragedy. The pacing tends to lag. We spend a lot of time on details that aren't always interesting. While I love dogs, and I was happy that Hawk played such a huge part in the story, I didn't necessarily want to spend multiple pages watching Meg run him through his training. We can only read about a dog running for so long before getting bored. I also thought it was odd that Meg would occasionally stop in the midst of a run or a training session to acknowledge some random focal point of the city, such as a statue, that she must have passed countless times and that certainly wasn't new to her. This felt too much like forced tidbits. I appreciate that the author did her research, but all of these details weighed the story down unnecessarily. At the start of each chapter we have a word or phrase relating to K-9 training and police work, along with the definition. This felt odd to me, more in line with nonfiction than fiction. Again, I appreciate that the author knows her material, but those definitions weren't pertinent for readers to enjoy the story. I think those words and definitions would have been better suited to an afterword by the author at the end of the book, if at all.Despite my grumbling, Lone Wolf does set the stage for an intriguing series, particularly for those of us who love our dogs.*I was provided with an advance copy by the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review.*
