Back in Timber Creek, Mattie finds a chilling note on her front door telling her to look for 'him' among the standing dead up in the high country. The sheriff's department springs into action and sends a team to the mountains, where Mattie s K-9 partner, Robo, makes a grisly discovery a body tied to a dead pine tree. Mattie is shocked when she realizes she knows the dead man. And then another note arrives, warning that Mattie's mother is in desperate straits. In a last-ditch gambit, Mattie must go deep undercover into a killer's lair to save her mother--or die trying"-- Provided by publisher. 20230321. Cobb, Mattie (Fictitious character) Fiction.
