Media reviews

'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 describedMuscular action scenesengaging.'
Kirkus

'bestseller Pearson's tension-filled sequelThe 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 youto the edge of your seat and keep you there.'
--Boston Sunday Globe

'Pearson again concocts his irresistible, pulse-poundingblend of fact and fiction . . . an intricate cat-and-mouse gamethat Pearson orchestrates with his pro's aplomb.'
--Seattle Post-Intelligencer
