Ridley's entry, Boldt's Broken Angel, is a long Boldt short story that catches the reader up on developments in Boldt's career, his continued attraction to Daphne Matthews, and pits him against an unusual killer. This story is meant as an interlude to the next Boldt novel which Ridley hopes to write in the coming year! A short preview: As Boldt is demoted to sergeant, he picks up a case involving a woman going missing from a Seattle office building. Too soon, there's another woman missing, and this one hits much closer to home. Boldt's deepening affection for co-worker, Daphne Matthews, can no longer be denied. Through the terror of this case, Boldt finds a way to finally speak the truth... "Jeffery Deaver's The Weapon, about the limitations of torture, and Ridley Pearson's Boldt's Broken Angel, which features a race to prevent a cop's death, provide solid bookends to this nifty all-original anthology, the sequel to 2006's Thriller: Stories to Keep You Up All Night. The 23 selections—all by members of International Thriller Writers Inc.—score hits more often than misses..." —Publishers Weekly "Awesome story—Boldts Broken Angel!!

The Putt at the End of the World—a "serial" novel, edited by Les Standiford
"This outrageously funny, multi-authored novel by (in order of tee times) Les Standiford, Ridley Pearson, Tami Hoag, Lee K. Abbott, Tim O'Brien, Richard Bausch, Dave Barry, James W. Hall, and James Crumley is a treasure... an exhibition of carnal swing mechanics unrivaled since the orgy scene from Caligula. This droll, absurd fable is just mainstream enough to keep even the nongolfing masses, who don't know a mashie from a niblick, guffawing out loud." —Publishers Weekly BUY THE BOOK from an independent bookstore via IndieBound or order from Amazon
