Synopsis

A wave of 'babynappings' has terrified parents from San Diego to Portland. And when the Pied Piper - named for the penny flute he leaves in the cribs of his victims - claims his first Seattle infant, the investigation draws in homicide detective Lou Boldt. Assigned temporarily to Intelligence, Boldt's role is to keep the FBI out of the Seattle Police Department's way. Then the Pied Piper snatches Boldt's own daughter, promising that unless Boldt throws both the Feds and the SPD off his trail he'll never see his child again. Caught between his professional obligations and his fear for his daughter's life, Boldt launches his own private manhunt - and discovers how the Piper has managed to stay a step ahead of the police, elude capture, and find his small victims...

Book Overview: From the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of MIDDLE OF NOWHERE Published alongside his terrific 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: 'A killer combination of Patricia D. Cornwell and John D. MacDonald with a soupcon of Thomas Harris' Stephen King '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 'Ridley Pearson tells an irresistible tale' LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW 'Pearson has established himself a reputation as a master of this genre' WASHINGTON POST 'Pearson excels at writing novels that grip the imagination' PEOPLE
