The Rescue
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
"Narrator Victoria Villarreal keeps this canine-themed thriller on track, providing the empathy and consistency required to get into the mind of Joe, a mutt with a gifted nose, a DEA pedigree, and a price on his head."- AudioFile
The Rescue is a gripping thriller that explores the strength of the human-animal bond and how far we will go to protect what we love by three-time Edgar Award winner and New York Times bestselling author T. Jefferson Parker.
While reporting on a Tijuana animal shelter, journalist Bettina Blazak falls in love with one of her story's subjects—an adorable Mexican street dog who is being treated for a mysterious gunshot wound. Bettina impulsively adopts the dog, who she names Felix after the veterinarian who saved him.
In investigating Felix's past, Bettina discovers that his life is nothing like what she assumed. For one thing, he's not a Mexican street dog at all. A former DEA drug-sniffing dog, Felix has led a very colorful, dangerous, and profitable life. With Bettina's story going viral, some interesting people are looking for Felix, making him a target—again.
Bettina soon finds herself drawn into a deadly criminal underworld from which she and her beloved dog may not return.

- content: Narrator Victoria Villarreal keeps this canine-themed thriller on track, providing the empathy and consistency required to get into the mind of Joe, a mutt with a gifted nose, a DEA pedigree, and a price on his head. Villarreal convincingly voices a Mexican drug lord, a Texas cop, a mysterious sharpshooter known as "The Roman," and the audiobook's protagonist, Bettina Blazak, a skeet-shooting California newspaper reporter who hates being told what she can't do. The audiobook careens back and forth across the Tijuana border as Bettina fights to protect Joe and vice versa. Despite a shaky premise, the audiobook holds together with enough forward momentum and surprises that even dog-challenged listeners will stick with it to the end.
