Alex Kava

Maggie O’Dell / Ryder Creed Series

Alex Kava is the writer of psychological suspense featuring FBI profiler Maggie O’Dell and K9-handler Ryder Creed. Her books have landed on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists (and on my shelves!).

If you don’t believe me, start with A Perfect Evil and see if you can stop at one. I couldn’t.

In addition to U.S. bestseller lists, Maggie O’Dell books have charted in Australia, Germany, Poland, Italy, and the UK. Kava’s novels have been published in twenty-eight countries.

“Rip-roaring action that only builds with intensity…the mark of a true thriller!” — Tess Gerritsen

“Alex Kava knows the psychology of evil.” — John Philpin, Forensic Psychologist and Author

“Twisted plots, shocking characters, breakneck pacing. Guaranteed to keep you up all night!” — Lisa Gardner
