Ryder Creed and his K9 search-and-rescue dogs return in
the second installment of an exciting new series, teaming up
once more with FBI profiler Maggie O’Dell in their riskiest
case yet.
When Ryder Creed responds to a
devastating mudslide in North Carolina, he knows that the
difference between finding survivors and the dead is time.
He and his sturdiest search-and-rescue dog, Bolo, get to
work immediately, but the scene is rife with danger:
continued rainfall prevents the rescue teams from
stabilizing the land; toxic household substances spread by
the crushing slide fill the area with hazardous waste; and
the detritus and debris are treacherous for both man and dog
to navigate. But most perilous are the secrets hidden under
the mud and sludge—secrets someone would kill to protect.
For this is no ordinary rescue mission. Among the buildings
consumed by the landslide was a top-secret government
research facility, and Creed has been hired to find what’s
left of it.
Then rescuers recover the body of
a scientist from the facility who was obviously dead
before the landslide—killed by a gunshot to the head.
The FBI sends Agent Maggie O’Dell to investigate, and she
and Creed are soon caught in a web of lies, secrets, and
murder that may involve not only the government facility,
but decades-old medical experiments that are the subject of
current congressional hearings. As more bodies are found
under even more unusual circumstances, they come ever closer
to exposing the truth—but with unknown forces working
against them, Maggie, Creed, and the dogs are running out of
time.
