KILLER ABYSS Cover and Copy Reveal!

Over the holidays, I finished drafting the 11th book in the FBI K-9s series, KILLER ABYSS. In it, all four Human Scent Evidence dog teams are deployed to Mammoth Cave National Park when a teenage girl goes missing. The search sends Meg, Hawk, Brian, and Lacey deep into the treacherous peril of an undiscovered cave with danger lurking down every passageway. Luckily for the teams, they have professional cavers to help them navigate the dark unknown, but it's still a search that risks their lives and those of their dogs. And that's all before the nightmare they find at the end of that first search...

KILLER ABYSS launches on November 24, 2026. Here's a first look at the atmospheric cover and the book's copy:

For FBI handler Meg Jennings and her K-9 partner, Hawk, the search for a missing girl leads to the underground caves of Kentucky—ones darker than she ever fathomed.
 
No descent into the unknown has ever been too treacherous for Meg Jennings and her colleagues in the FBI K-9 unit. They are prepared for anything. But when 14-year old Larissa Whorlow disappears on her way home from school in Nashville, Tennessee, Meg may be proved wrong.
 
Their only hope is a tracker tag on Larissa’s shoe, worn at her protective mother’s insistence. Unfortunately, the trail stops dead at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. Meg and her black Labrador, Hawk, are among four teams scrambling to solve a kidnapping that has crossed state lines. All Meg can do is to follow Hawk, who’s on the scent of the missing girl—right through a narrow break in a limestone rise and straight into a cavernous labyrinth.
 
With all communication cut off and miles of undiscovered passages and subterranean rivers to navigate, Meg’s search gets deeper and darker with every uncertain move forward. Then, at the edge of a dangerous abyss, Meg makes a shocking discovery and realizes that Larissa’s vanishing was no random snatch and grab. It’s the work of a serial killer who’s pulling Meg into terrifying game of cat and mouse. And the only way out is through the blackness below.
