Ridley Pearson

Author Ridley Pearson has left the usual gritty urban setting of most thriller novels behind. Instead, his newest release, Killer Summer (the third so far in the Killerseries) is set in Sun Valley, a resort area for the rich and famous. In it, Sheriff Walt Fleming (based on Sun Valley's real-life lawman of the same name) is busy chasing down a gang of crooks. The trouble is, he's not exactly sure what the thieves are after - and that's exactly the way the bad guys like it.
