But money pressures, caused by his wife's recent illness, also make him think about the possibility of a better-paying job in private security.

Book Overview: From NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of PARALLEL LIES Published alongside his excellent new novel, THE ART OF DECEPTION Ridley Pearson creates great characters that will appeal to both male and female thriller fans His US sales have been doubling from book to book The critics on Ridley Pearson: 'Pearson continues to meld the small-scale, detail-driven precision of the best procedurals with the large-canvas, screw-tightening suspense of such high-concept thrillers as SILENCE OF THE LAMBS ... As always, Pearson builds suspense incrementally, brilliantly amassing details until his plot reaches critical mass at just the right moment. Several Boldt adventures ago, we rashly labelled Pearson the best thriller writer alive ; time has done nothing to tarnish the accuracy of that claim' BOOKLIST 'A killer combination of Patricia D. Cornwell and John D. MacDonald with a soupcon of Thomas Harris' Stephen King 'Ridley has been called the best thriller writer alive , and there's no disagreement here' NEW YORK POST 'Pearson excels at writing novels that grip the imagination' PEOPLE 'Pearson has established himself a reputation as a master of this genre' WASHINGTON POST
