This was my first Ridley Pierson book and I was not sure that I would enjoy reading it. However, I was hooked after the first few pages and found it a good mystery thriller. The characters were developed, believable and vulnerable and the plot was complicated enough to keep you guessing and reading.

This book was ok. I didn't find the characters to be very engaging but the story was good.
Scary Thriller
in middle of no where pearson has combined a page turning plot and great charactors. a good read.
Another tangled web from Ridley Pearson. This will keep you reading! Scott Turow stated it was \"pure pleasure\". The blue flue and one cop is determined.....will shock you but also entertain you!
Ridley Pearson's books are great especially this one
The Seattle Police force is having a blue flu. Officers who remained on the job have been injured, one critically. Lou Boldt must find out if it is the work of a criminal or other cops. Very good book
