Ridley Pearson is the author of more than twenty novels, including the New York Times bestseller Killer Weekend, the Lou Boldt crime series, and many books for young readers. He and Dave Barry cowrote the award-winning childrenĀ’s novels Peter and the Starcatchers, Peter and the Shadow Thieves, and Peter and the Secret of Rundoon.
“Fans of Pearson’s numerous thrillers (including the best-selling Lou Boldt/Daphne Matthews series) will welcome this newest entry, which sparkles with the writer’s crisp prose and unrelenting suspense. In Sheriff Fleming, Pearson has created a likable, sympathetic protagonist, forever challenged by ferocious weather, a feisty citizenry, and feral criminal minds.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“...vividly described...Muscular action scenes...engaging.”
—Kirkus
“...bestseller Pearson’s tension-filled sequel...The conflict between the two worlds Walt serves, ‘the obscenely affluent residents of Ketchum/Sun Valley and the locals who provided services for them,’ provides an ideal backdrop. Pearson’s relentless sense of pacing and serpentine plot will have readers furiously turning pages until the end.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Biological terror is the frightening specter raised in master storyteller Pearson’s nerve-racking new thriller. The story and the atmosphere of this winter-set drama are both chilling, and Pearson’s spare style and intense pace keep the clock ticking as a sheriff tries to solve a case that encompasses murder, kidnapping and biohazards.”
—Romantic Times
“A terrific villain, an appealing protagonist, and breakneck pacing. . . . Ridley Pearson writes thrillers, the kind that try to yank you to the edge of your seat and keep you there.”
--Boston Sunday Globe
“Pearson again concocts his irresistible, pulse-pounding blend of fact and fiction . . . an intricate cat-and-mouse game that Pearson orchestrates with his pro’s aplomb.”
--Seattle Post-Intelligencer
