Lieutenant Lou Boldt, the Seattle cop who stars in Ridley Pearson's deservedly popular series, is a sharp and touching figure--perhaps the most believable police officer in current fiction. Early in this ninth book about his public and private life, Lou has to put on a bullet-resistant vest to lead a raid against some dangerous criminals. "The vest was not physically heavy, but its presence was," Pearson tells us.

It meant battle; it meant risk. For Boldt, a vest was a symbol of youth. It had been well over a year since he had worn one. Ironically, as he approached the hangar's north door at a light run behind his own four heavily armored ERT personnel, he caught himself worrying about his hands, not his life. He didn't want to smash up his piano hands in some close quarters skirmish. . . . Boldt plays jazz piano one night a week in a local bar, and despite his concern for his hands, he takes every opportunity he can to get away from his desk and into the streets. But money pressures, caused by his wife's recent illness, also make him think about the possibility of a better-paying job in the private sector.

Meanwhile, some extremely ruthless people are murdering illegal Chinese immigrant women and leaving their bodies buried in newly dug graves. An ambitious local TV journalist named Stevie McNeal and the young Chinese woman she thinks of as her "Little Sister" risk their lives to investigate the killings, while Boldt and his team round up a most unusual array of suspects.

This combination of hard-edged realism and softer sentiment has become Pearson's trademark, and once again it works smoothly. --Dick Adler

The First Victim edition by Ridley Pearson Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks

This was the sixth or seventh Boldt series I have read. The author typically does well researched material, and usually has good plotting with plenty of suspense. However, this book fell down. The author lost his focus on the two prime characters and centered on a TV news reporter. The ending was brief and unfulfilling, thus the lower than usual rating. For now, I will move on to other authors.

Thanks!
A lot of twists and turns, but the outcome was pretty predictable. Good story, though.
I could not put this book down. It is one of the best in the Bolt/Matthews series and we need more of them. PLEASE give is some more of this series. The subject of the book was so innovative and provocative. And exciting doesn't begin to describe it. Read it in two days.
Terrific book and very well written. Kept you on the edge of your seat.
Ridley Pearson's protagonist Lou Boldt has become one of my favorite characters, along with Daphne Matthews. Pearson's novels are hard to put down, twists and turns galore. I've read all of the "Boldt" suspense thrillers; I'm hoping Pearson will write many more. Kudos, Patricia Huff (author of The Mourning Doves)
In this latest story detective Lou Boldt (a great character who features in many of Person's previous novels), is totally wasted in an esoteric plot way outside the appeal (to me) of Mr. Pearson's usual high quality crime genre. I simply couldn't finish it with the next John Sanford waiting on my night table.
The ugliness of people smuggling comes to the northwest. A well written exploration of the exploitation of unfortunate seeking something better. A bleak realty exposed in fiction.
