RECKLESS CREED is the first novel I read of Alex Kava's Ryder Creed series but it is not the first one of this amazing storyline. The series is about Creed who trains K-9s for search and rescue missions and he uses his dogs to help solve some intense mysteries. This is one of the number one reasons I had to read it and I am glad I did. Kava puts a lot of research in her novels, as you can tell, to make each part as true to life as she can. This leaves you wondering how close to life some of these things can happen. That is the characteristics of a great writer when they have you believing and wondering the fiction to real life.

Ryder Creed is called to help find a missing girl with the help of his Jack Russell, Grace. She is found in a river with rocks in her pockets. But why are there dead birds in the area as well? Is this some how related to a man who falls to his death in New York City? Creed works with Maggie O'Dell who is a FBI profiler to find the connections before it is too late for humanity!

Bravo for Alex Kava for such an astonishing novel! This makes me want to go back and read the others in the series as well as the Maggie O'Dell series. RECKLESS CREED is hard to put down and will leave you wanting more. In a time when conspiracies are often feared, this story will keep you on the brink of losing control.
