Amazon.com Review
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
so he can spend more time with his kids while his wife is hospitalized
for chemotherapy, Boldt’s role is to keep the FBI out of the Seattle
Police Department’s way. But FBI special agent Gary Flemming is a tough
adversary–so tough it almost seems as if he’s intentionally sabotaging
the SPD’s investigation. 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 Sarah’s life, Boldt launches his own private
manhunt with the help of John La Moia, his replacement in homicide,
and police psychologist Daphne Matthews, his closest friend in the department.
They form a sub rosa task force under the noses of the Feds and the
SPD, and soon discover how the Piper has managed to stay a step ahead
of the police, elude capture, and find his small victims. The chase
moves from Seattle to Portland to New Orleans, culminating in a thrilling
denouement in the daffodil fields of Washington’s Skagit Valley. Combining
strong characterizations with an impressive command of both policing
and pacing, Ridley Pearson, author of Chain of Evidence and Beyond Recognition,
delivers another sure winner in this outing for Lou Boldt. –Jane Adams

From Publishers Weekly
A serial kidnapper called the Pied Piper?the villain of Pearson’s ingenious,
fast-moving 11th thriller?has targeted Seattle, and newly promoted Lieutenant
Lou Boldt (last seen in Beyond Recognition) is called in on the case
by John LaMoia of the Seattle Crimes Against Persons unit. Boldt, whose
wife, Liz, is undergoing chemotherapy, soon discovers that the Pied
Piper has managed to target families, steal children and vanish from
city after city seemingly at will, although the FBI, under the direction
of Special Agent Gary Flemming, has been chasing the serial kidnapper
across the country for months. And it looks like the same thing will
happen in Seattle, especially when vital information is withheld by
the FBI in a turf battle with the locals. But just as Boldt starts asking
the right questions, the Pied Piper abducts his daughter, Sarah. It’s
twists like this that fuel the rest of the novel as Pearson tightens
the screws on Boldt as he tries to find his daughter and prevent another
kidnapping. The plot begins simply and becomes wonderfully complex,
stretching from Seattle to New Orleans; while the lucky car accident
that helps break the case wide open is somewhat facile, the work of
Boldt and an expertly drawn supporting cast of characters will hold
the attention of readers. As will be clear even to neophytes, Boldt’s
relationship with forensic psychologist Daphne Matthews, and the ongoing
affair between two members of the task force, point to a lot of history
between these characters, none of it confusing for first-timers, who
may be tempted to pick up earlier novels to see whether they’re all
this good. $250,000 ad/promo; Literary Guild, Doubleday Book Club selections;
author tour. Agent, Al Zuckerman. (Aug.) FYI: A mass market edition
of Beyond Recognition will be published simultaneously.
