Umberto Alvarez is a grieving man whose quest is to bring down the
railroad company he blames for the death of his wife and children three
years earlier - no matter who gets in the way. Peter Tyler is an ex-cop
looking to redeem himself after being suspended from the force. Now an
investigator with the National Transportations Safety Board, he will
stop at nothing to catch the elusive Alvarez. But the case is more
complicated than it seems. As Tyler's investigation proceeds, it becomes
apparent that Alvarez is no terrorist - in fact, the more Tyler
investigates, the closer he comes to the real truth. Packed with action,
laced with romance, brimming with heart-stopping suspense, and marked by
the intelligence and humility that make Ridley Pearson's novels stand
apart from others in the genre, Parallel Lies will cause listeners to
agree that he is "the best damn thriller writer on the planet"
(Booklist).
