About this title

Review

Praise for "The Red Room"
Pearson s third book in the Risk Agent series is an E-ticket adventure of lies, betrayal and violence. . . . Pearson leaves no doubt that he can handle the espionage trade. The writing style is tense, breathless. The plot, a thick maze of questions. "The Arizona Republic"
Istanbul comes alive in Pearson s prose . . . he keeps the plot racing along to the climax. This book will keep you turning the pages until the very end. "Suspense Magazine"
Pearson again shows himself the master of the intelligent thriller. Barbara Peters, The Poisoned Pen
This installment is all about impossible escapes and elusive spycraft. . . . Another hit in this knockout thriller series featuring nonstop danger, casually clever descriptions of exotic locales, evolving characterization, and evenhanded sociopolitical commentary. Recommended for every beach bag. "Booklist""

Praise for "White Bone"
Another perfectly calibrated installment in Pearson s thriller world tour (with earlier stops in Shanghai, Amsterdam, and Istanbul); puzzling clues and immersive, full-sensory descriptions of Kenya balance cutthroat international criminal networks and teeth-clenching firefights. "Booklist"
