CUT AND RUN
Six years ago, witness protection marshal Roland Larson did the
unthinkable: he fell in love with a protected witness, Hope Stevens,
whose testimony was to put away prominent members of the Romero crime
family. When Hope's plan to "cut and run" is interrupted by both the
government and the mob, she disappears into a new identity, taking with
her not only her testimony but a secret never shared with Larson.
Larson, who has been looking for her ever since, is put back on her
trail when the Romeros intercept the master WITSEC list from the Justice
Department and Hope is believed among the first protected witnesses to
be targeted for execution.
In a series of terrifying encounters, Larson matches wits with a
brutally ingenious killer whose sole target is Hope Stevens. For Larson,
the stakes couldn't be higher--he must find Hope in order to protect
her, and simultaneously prevent the mob from auctioning off the master
witness protection list--an act that will put seven thousand innocent,
and not-so-innocent, lives in jeopardy.
Taut and edge-of-the-seat compelling, Cut and Run is a unique thriller
that skillfully blends romance and suspense--Ridley Pearson at his
heart-pounding best.
PARALLEL LIES
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).
