Police Sergeant Lou Boldt heads a special task force within Seattle's Homicide bureau. His job: find and stop the Cross Killer, a twisted, perverse serial murderer who has eluded police for six months and paralyzed the city. But when a body washes up on the shore of Puget Sound, Boldt thinks the killer has finally made a mistake. This body shows some of the work of the Cross Killer--but a job badly botched. Did this woman die while trying to escape? Did she knowingly jump in the water to preserve a clue? And is she now desperately trying to tell Boldt something? With the help of the alluring Daphne Matthews, a police psychologist, Boldt pieces together the complex puzzle--and the listener is taken along on a journey into the mind of a killer, and into the day-by-day nuts and bolts of police work, that is among the best in modern crime fiction. Undercurrents is a roller-coaster ride in the dark that will intrigue, startle, and satisfy.… (plus d'informations)

I feel bad, but this is one of the slowest books I ever read. I'm over 200 pages in and just can't plod any further. I truly don't care who did it or why. :( ( )

Great murder mystery that takes place in Seattle. One of the key parts of the story is the marine study of undercurrents in the Puget Sound, which I found fascinating. ( )

My first introduction to both author Ridley Pearson and Detective Lou Boldt. I enjoy watching all of the police television offerings and whether past (MOD Squad, Kojak, NYPD Blue, The Rookie, Hill Street Blues, Without a Trace) to present (Law & Order SVU, Unforgettable, Blue Bloods). Ridley Pearson takes the reader on a visual and emotional journey in book form of police procedure, forensic details, and psychological profiling as though you are a part of each step in the investigation and an integral part of the team. It is more intricate than any television drama or series can offer. It's an intense read but thoroughly absorbing without becoming a textbook or educational lecture. There are some authors who take you on so many asides to ensure you become a subject matter expert that the story is forgotten or paused until they 'teach' you the background. Ridley Pearson could surely teach them some valuable writing tips! I can't wait to investigate more titles by Ridley Pearson. :) ( )

Seattle is a city paralyzed by fear. A serial killer is loose on its streets. And as each new victim surfaces-chest slashed, eyes taped open-the tide of panic rises.Driven by guilt and frustration, too exhausted to consider stopping, Detective Lou Boldt thinks he's finally gotten the break he needs to end the Cross Killer's twisted spree. But each new clue contradicts another. And each new corpse mocks Boldt's efforts.To fathom the silent tale told by the latest corpse washed up in Puget Sound, Boldt has to go beyond every state-of-the-art method at his disposal. But as he gets closer to the truth, he travels deeper into the tortured mind of a relentless killer...into the depths of his own fear...and into a whirlpool of madness more frightening than his worst nightmares.

A ghoulish series of murders of young women in the Seattle area has the city jittery with fear and the Seattle Homicide bureau exhaustively hunting down every wisp of a clue. Police Sergeant Lou Boldt, who heads up the investigation, has a special stake in finding the psychopathic murderer, dubbed the "Cross Killer" by the press. Boldt was involved in arresting a suspect in the case who was later gunned down in the courtroom, although now he appears to have been innocent of the crimes. The guilt from that death, the unraveling of his marriage and a new and disturbing twist to the escalating series of murders have Boldt totally obsessed., The new twist comes after a 10th body is found appearing to be the handiwork of the Cross Killer. To Boldt's fine-tuned eye, however, this latest murder may actually be the work of a copycat killeran imitation so good, in fact, that Boldt has the unnerving suspicion that this murderer may very well be somebody within the police department. The narrative unfolds in a series of deftly rendered cinematic scenes leading to a hair-raising denouement. Pierson (The Seizing of Yankee Green Mall) has the ability to create a credible protaganist and involve the reader in his dilemma by virtue of a neatly constructed plot. He has, in addition, an authentic feeling for police investigation and forensic medicine, and a remarkable insight and understanding of the motivations of the criminal mind.
