Summary: A secret. A rescue. A terrifying truth. Slowly a large red moon rose over the mountain, flooding the snow in bloody light. Ice lifted her muzzle to the moon and howled, long and sad. Zac is staying with his dad and stepfamily in Wanaka. In an effort to get him away from his relentless computer gaming, he is allowed to choose a rescue dog. When Zac chooses the dog with the startling ice-blue eyes, little does he know the danger and adventure that will unravel as the mystery around the tracker dog becomes a fight for survival. Zac finds himself up against a terrifying enemy as a part-time job at an animal sanctuary exposes a horrifying enterprise. (Publisher)
