The Ryder Creed series by Alex Kava follows a former Marine who runs a K9 search-and-rescue operation. After leaving the military, Creed channels his training into working with specially trained dogs that detect everything from drugs to disaster survivors. The series launched in 2014 with Breaking Creed and has grown to ten books.
Creed’s cases often intersect with FBI profiler Maggie O’Dell, making this series a natural companion to Kava’s original thriller series. The stories balance high-stakes action with the relationship between Creed and his dogs, giving the books a different feel from the more forensic-focused O’Dell novels. Fans of both series will want to read them alongside each other.
