PIED PIPER
REVIEWS

pied piper "Pearson proves once again that he can put together a big-scale, big-time police manhunt better than anybody else in the business."
   —Kirkus Reviews (full review)

"It's twists like this that fuel the rest of the novel as Pearson tightens the screws on Boldt as he tries to find his daughter and prevent another kidnapping.... none of it confusing for first-timers, who may be tempted to pick up earlier novels to see whether they're all this good."
   —Publishers Weekly (full review)

"The chilling center of this extraordinary suspense tale is a parent's worst nightmare. Ridley Pearson punches up the terror to new heights with this completely unforgettable thriller."
   —Romantic Times (full review)

"I feel that this is the first of his books in which we see a glimpse of Ridley's bare soul, if that isn't too embarrassingly old-fashioned a notion, through the very professional gloss. In this story, one can clearly detect that overpowering urge to expression that is the first cause and final justification of all the arts. The reader's stomach will be duly churned by the crime plot that Mr. Pearson orchestrates so expertly; but the emotional impact of the character development is what ultimately gives this book its tremendous power."
   —MysteryGuide.com (full review)

"The action charges from Seattle to Portland to New Orleans in a tightly-woven, roller coaster plot.İİPearson, not content to simply weave a page-turning story, fleshes out his characters and makes them come alive."
   —Roz Shea, BookReporter.com (full review)
