REVIEW: Storm Rising by Sara Driscoll

Storm Rising (FBI K-9 #3) by Sara Driscoll : Hurricane Cole is about to hit Virginia and the Carolinas. FBI K-9 Handler Meg Jennings and her Labrador Retriever partner Hawk, along with the rest of her fellow team members from the FBI Human Scent Evidence Team are being sent to Virginia Beach for search and rescue duty. Meg’s boyfriend, Lt. Todd Webb of DC Fire and Emergency Services is called out too. They decide to travel together.

The destruction is devastating. Meg and her fellow search and rescue team are hard pressed to find survivors in the wreckage, While traveling to another search area Meg and Todd stop when they find a wrecked white van off the side of the highway. What they find inside is horrifying. Two young girls are dead but the disturbing part of their find is that the young girls were dressed very provocatively and also were restrained. It looks like sex trafficking. There is evidence at least one girl managed to escape from the wreck. Meg and Hawk set out to try to find whoever managed to escape. Now Meg and Hawk are assigned to the FBI team that is tasked with finding those running the sex-trafficking ring.

Storm Rising is the third book in author Sara Driscoll’s F.B.I. K-9 series. The first two books in the series, Lone Wolf and Before It’s Too Late introduce the main characters and set up their relationships. Both of these books are excellent reads!

Storm Rising continues Sara Driscoll’s exciting and action-packed adventures and cases with Meg Jennings, Hawk and her friends and family. These books are fascinating to read. Lots of research goes into each story which makes for a very realistic read. Search and rescue following a powerful hurricane and tracking down sex-trafficking criminals are both intense subjects and this author presents the ups and downs of both quite well. I can’t praise this author’s creativity and writing style enough. Find out for yourself what great stories she writes. Storm Rising is not to be missed!

The heart-pounding thriller of a series continues as FBI Special Agent Meg Jennings and her search-and-rescue K-9 companion confront the fury of nature—and the more dangerous nature of man . . .

In the wake of a devastating hurricane, Special Agent Meg Jennings and her Labrador, Hawk—invaluable members of the FBI’s Human Scent Evidence Team—have been deployed to Virginia Beach. They have their work cut out for them. Amid graveyards of debris, and the buried cries for help, the search and rescue operation begins. The most alarming discovery is yet to come—a teenage girl hiding in the Great Dismal Swamp. Shaken by the storm, she has reason to be scared. But this young survivor is terrified of so much more.

Her name is Emma—a disheveled runaway lost to the sordid underbelly of a Virginia sex-trafficking ring. Its leader has disappeared in the chaos—along with other victims. With so much evidence, and so many witnesses, seemingly washed away, Meg joins forces with Special Agent Walter Van Cleave to ensure no further harm comes to their vulnerable charge. They soon discover that this is no small-time localized syndicate. Its branches are rooted in some of the most influential powers in Virginia. Now as Meg’s investigation digs deeper, she’s making some very dangerous enemies. And one by one, they’re coming out of the storm to stop her.
