Under Pressure

Written by Sara Driscoll

Narrated by Susan Bennett

FBI handler Meg Jennings and her K-9 partner, Hawk, are drawn into a case that involves a fortune in uncut gems, and an enemy whose power and ruthlessness know no bounds …

Diamonds are no one’s best friend when the jewels in question are smuggled conflict gems. Meg Jennings and her Labrador, Hawk, have undertaken many search-and-rescue missions, but this case has an unusual twist. A Philadelphia
syndicate is importing diamonds from war-torn African nations and selling them with fake certificates to Stateside dealers. Agent Finn Pierce of the Organized Crime Program is embedded with the syndicate, but being caught with a wire or
tracking device would mean instant execution. If Meg, her partner Brian Foster, and their dogs can track Pierce to a deal location, they can break the smuggling chain while maintaining Pierce’s cover.

With the syndicate monitoring every move, it’s a risky operation with more players than Meg and Brian first assumed—on both sides of the law. And when one of their own gets caught in the line of fire, the team embarks on a desperate
rescue mission, knowing that mere seconds are all that separate life and death …

family, FBI fast-pace, friendship, rescue-animals, K-9, diamonds, crime-fiction, thriller, organized crime, action, adaptability*****What an exhausting read! There's something happening every minute and the suspense gets really tight. I have not read any others of the series, but I will now! The central characters are FBI, their related families and their working family, including their Search and Rescue K-9s. The central character, Meg, has parents in a nearby state who run an animal rescue (which is where she got her current partner after her police K-9 was killed). This adventure is all about the illegal diamond trade and organized crime in Philadelphia. The breather at the beginning of each chapter is a lesson in the terms of diamond assessment. Then back into the fray as the regular special agents utilize the associated K-9s and handlers to get proof and make arrests. Add in that one of the group (not FBI) is an investigative journalist for the Washington Post and you begin to see some possibilities. A real thrill ride this! Loved it!I requested and received a free ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
