The quiet of Colorado's backcountry was shattered by a scream that changed everything. When Detective Mattie Cobb and her K-9 partner Robo investigate, they discover that what appears to be a tragic accident may be something far more sinister. Join Margaret Mizushima as she discusses the inspiration behind Dying Cry, the challenges of writing a long-running series, and how the Colorado landscape continues to shape her storytelling. Fellow author Kathleen Donnelly will share insights from her experience as a K-9 handler and how real-world expertise translates into compelling fiction. This conversation promises to reveal the craft behind two of mystery fiction's most authentic voices in the K-9 genre.
