KILLER VIEW
"Ridley Pearson writes some of the tightest fiction around." —Scott Turow  READ MORE PRAISE
Sun Valley sheriff Walt Fleming returns in a stunning new thriller from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author. When a skier goes missing at Sun Valley's Galena Summit, Sheriff Walt Fleming quickly assembles his crack search-and-rescue team and heads out into the snowy night. Despite the treacherous conditions, Walt and his group, including deputy Tommy Brandon and Walt's best friend, Mark Aker, set off on snowshoes, accompanied by highly trained search dogs. Within minutes, something goes horribly wrong: one of their team is found dead. By morning, Mark Aker has disappeared. Torn between professional responsibility and the desperate urge to find his friend, Walt is further challenged by an unexplained illness at a local water bottling plant thatsends workers to the hospital and sets off biohazard warnings. Following threads of questionable evidence through the glitter of Sun Valley leads Walt to an unlikely—and darker—source, and reveals a crime played out on a much larger scale than he originally envisioned. Waist-deep in snow and knee-deep in lies, the life of his friend in the balance, Walt begins to suspect that the whole operation is controlled by people of great wealth and power, which leaves him where he started: out in the cold. From adrenaline-charged start to explosive finish, Killer View is heart-stopping suspense at its very best.

Praise for Killer View… "[A] tension-filled sequel... Pearson's relentless sense of pacing and serpentine plot will have readers furiously turning pages until the end." —Publishers Weekly "Fans of Pearson's numerous thrillers...will welcome this newest entry which sparkles with the writer's crisp prose and unrelenting suspense." —Booklist "Pearson takes some of our biggest fears involving terrorism and government coverups and turns them into a gripping, page-turner of a novel." —Rocky Mountain News "It's the middle of summer. Time for relaxing on the beach, or lazing in the backyard, or just vegging in your living room easy chair. Whichever manner of leisure you choose, you need a good book. But not just any book. You need a summer book, something that will keep your mind wandering and get your heart racing. Killer View by Ridley Pearson is such a book.... The only problem with reading a book like this on a hot summer day is that you may become so wrapped up in it that you'll forget to put sunblock on." —MSNBC Interactive "In combining the contemplation of serious issues with nonstop action in an original setting, Pearson has created a terrĩc read for any season." —The Nashville Scene "Too many thrillers pile events and characters and coincidences one on top of another until figuring out what happened requires a reader's guide. Too often the result is a letdown at book's end, not dejection that the ride is over so much as disappointment that it doesn't quite make sense. Pearson walks up to the edge of this dilemma, and despite the many elements at work in Killer View, he keeps things organized and understandable. The ride in Killer View is a little bumpy at times but in the end, like his well-sketched character of Walt Fleming, Pearson nails the landing." —Yahoo News  |
