Entertainment Weekly has called Pearson "a thinking person's Robert Ludlum." In his latest book, Seattle police detective Lou Boldt and police psychologist Daphne Matthews of his previous books return to confront an ingenious, technologically savvy madman who places poisoned food in neighborhood supermarkets and retrieves his ransom electronically. No crime scene. No witnesses.
"Pearson builds a maze around us as he goes along, until we are utterly and brilliantly trapped, and he keeps us constantly making wrong guesses without once cheating us. No Witnesses is a good, solid, expertly-crafted novel." --The Mystery Review

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Seattle police detective Lou Boldt and police psychologist Daphne Matthews return in No Witnesses to confront the most challenging case of their careers. People are dying throughout Seattle -- victims of a madman who is placing poisoned food in neighborhood supermarkets. But the criminal is intelligent: he writes the police chilling extortion letters -- faxed directly from a laptop computer over public telephone lines -- and retrieves his ransom electronically, through automatic teller machines in hundreds of locations around the city. And while he is a murderer, his crimes take place miles and often days away from his innocent victims' demise. How can you stop a criminal when there is no crime scene to study -- and no witnesses? Daphne knows that no killings take place in a vacuum: there must be psychological motivations that she should be able to determine if she digs deep enough. And Boldt knows that despite the seemingly impossible task, there must be some forensic trail that he can follow -- even if it is only through the netherworld of computer networks. The two of them work their own ways, with their own agendas, to track a killer -- only to find a truth darker than they ever imagined. No Witnesses is Pearson's most accomplished and complex crime novel -- a book that brings the police thriller into fascinating new territory. Artikel-Nr. 00110469402
