Ridley Pearson: The Pied Piper (USA 1998) From the Publisher: With few leads and no witnesses, Boldt and Matthews must battle not only the overwhelming odds, but the involvement of federal law enforcement driven by a news-hungry press and nervous politicians. The more deeply they probe, the more elusive the truth seems - evidence is being stalled, paperwork misplaced, witnesses overlooked. Why, when so much is at stake? From bedroom to boardroom, Seattle to New Orleans, The Pied Piper is Ridley Pearson's most ambitious, intriguing, tightly woven story yet, peopled with heartfelt characters and his trademark detailed research. Writing as a new father himself, his "remarkable understanding of the motivations of the criminal mind" is enriched by a deep level of emotional suspense and makes clear why Clive Cussler has described Pearson as "one hell of a writer." Ridley Pearson: The Pied Piper. Hyperion Books, ISBN: 0786863005 (August, 1998), 497 p., $23.95.
