Desperate Creed - Ryder Creed, #5

Award-winning author, Alex Kava pulls readers into the middle of the storm and has them gasping for air even as they turn the next page. A trailblazer in the K9 mystery genre, Kava creates a "dynamic between Ryder and his canines that reveals a world rarely shared in fiction and perhaps nowhere presented more effectively than in this series." -Phil Jason, Florida WeeklyA STORM IS COMINGIn Alabama: A deadly outbreak of tornadoes sends K9 handlers, Ryder Creed and Jason Seaver with their scent dogs, Grace and Scout to search for survivors.
As storms intensify and Ryder and Jason race against time to save victims, they end up racing to save themselves. NOT EVERYONE'S STORM IS THE SAME. In Chicago: Francine "Frankie" Russo is irritated when her young co-worker calls at 5:00 am for a video-chat and catches her in only a towel. She's so annoyed with Tyler Gates that she's barely paying attention when two men confront him on the street. In a matter of seconds, Frankie witnesses Tyler's murder.
Then the killers pick up the phone. And suddenly, they know what Frankie looks like, who she is, where she works and lives. She knows absolutely nothing about them. But one thing's for certain-they're coming for her next. WHEN THE STORM HITS .
