Just in time for summer reading my husband has discovered a great new-to-us author with a trove of books to enjoy! I'm talking about Alex Kava and Silent Creed (#562), the second book in her Ryder Creed series.
Ryder Creed is an ex-military dog handler who is now using his energies to rescue and train dogs for a series of tasks - search and rescue, recovery or following particular scents. In the previous book he was teamed with Maggie O'Dell, an FBI forensics specialist. They are paired again in this taut thriller when both are assigned separately to a catastrophic North Carolina landslide that has affected a remote federal laboratory. Maggie O'Dell is asked by her Army friend to "check up quietly" on things there. When one of the research scientists turns up dead in the mud and debris, it's hardly surprising, but the bullet hole in his head certainly is. When more grisly evidence surfaces, it's a race against time to find out exactly what has been going on in this anonymous lab. Nothing is what it seems to either Ryder or Maggie, and they and their companions both human and canine are all at risk.
I could not put this one down! Even better, I know there's GOT to be a sequel!!!
