Ryder Creed novel, 2

When Ryder Creed responds to a mudslide in North Carolina, he knows that the difference between finding survivors and the dead is time. He and his search-and-rescue dog, Bolo, get to work immediately, but the scene is rife with danger: continued rainfall, toxic household substances spread by the crushing slide, 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--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 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. As more bodies are found, they come closer to exposing the truth--but with unknown forces working against them, Maggie, Creed, and the dogs are running out of time
