Review
"A multi layered thriller with enough surprises to keep readers rooting for Walt and anxious about personal safety in Sun Valley.... In Harm's Way delivers a likable protagonist with relationship problems, kid issues, job challenges and the nagging suspicious that he'll never live up to his parents' expectations. Now, who among us can't relate?"
-Houston Chronicle
"Pearson manages to team up the heroes from both his suspense series fro a transfixing tale filled with secrets both large and small. At the center of the story lies Sheriff Walt Fleming, and this book in particular explores the relationships in his life. With a Pearson novel, you can always expect to get riveting suspense, excellent characterization and a well-crafted plot!"
-Romantic Times Book Review

Book Description
Sun Valley sheriff Walt Fleming’s budding relationship with local photographer Fiona Kenshaw hits a rough patch after she is responsible for a heroic river rescue yet attempts to avoid the press. Despite her laudable actions, she begs Walt to help keep her photo out of the local paper. Confused by her protests, Walt thinks she’s just being modest about her heroism. While Sun Valley is known as a billionaire’s playground, Walt’s job still keeps him grounded firmly in reality. One day he’s rubbing elbows with political royalty; the next he’s stepping over spilled jam jars while investigating the vandalism of a local home by a brown bear, and trying to find sitters for his twin daughters. He’s dodging Fiona, chasing down criminals, and attending charity fund-raisers, feeling like he’s leading a double life. It’s at one charity benefit that a young woman he once rescued is convinced she has seen a ghost: her former captor, a man Walt watched die. Then Walt gets a phone call that changes everything: Lou Boldt, a legendary homicide sergeant out of Seattle, reports that a recent murder in his city may have a high-profile Sun Valley connection. Their shared search for information is soon complicated by the discovery of a body at the side of the valley’s busiest road, not far from where the spooked young woman lives. A young woman who happens to be under the watchful care of Fiona. Walt and Boldt sense a connection — but are some cases better left in the cold-case file? Can Walt turn away from what seems an impossible truth? Can Boldt trick the suspect out into the open? Walt and Boldt begin to fit together the pieces of a terrifying puzzle — in the process putting themselves and everyone around them in harm’s way.

I agree with the Publisher's Weekly review..., Oct 8 2010
By Book Diva "BD" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Harm's Way (Hardcover)
This is a frustrating read.It's difficult to care about any of the characters, particularly the female lead, who is so unlovable and irritating that it's hard to believe the Sheriff cares about her. The most enjoyable (and realistic) character is the dog, Beatrice.

whew, Aug 29 2011
By JenMarsz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Harm's Way (Hardcover)
Wow, this was, um, awful. What happened Ridley Pearson? I felt like either I wasn't paying any attention or you weren't making any sense. I finished the book. You weren't making any sense. I am still not sure how all of the characters and stories related to each other or why we should care about either the crimes or who turn out to be the criminals. I loved the Boldt/Matthews books - what was this???

IN HARM'S WAY is a suspenseful novel that challenges armchair detectives in many ways, Aug 9 2010
By Bookreporter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Harm's Way (Hardcover)
Walt Fleming and Lou Boldt, Ridley Pearson's intrepid heroes, meet to work cases in this newest installment of the Killer series. Lou has starred in Pearson's books for years, and the younger Walt has appeared in three previous police procedurals. This one takes place in Sun Valley, Idaho, rich in natural beauty and populated by the wealthy, famous and, in some cases, infamous.Lou, the Seattle connection, and Walt get hooked up to solve several murders. A woman was killed in Lou's jurisdiction, and he thinks a Sun Valley resident may be the culprit. Thus he calls upon Walt to help. Lou decides the best way to do this is to travel to Idaho and work beside his younger colleague.
As the book begins, the first sentence is a stunner: "Glancing out the windshield...Fiona [Kenshaw] spotted a log with flailing arms." She jumps into the fast-moving water and rescues the child, thus becoming a local hero. Fiona, a police photographer, begs Walt to keep her picture from being plastered on the front pages of the local newspapers. He doesn't succeed, and Fiona retreats into an emotional shell. She has a blackout and doesn't remember anything during that time. From this opening, the plot moves at breakneck speed with twists and turns that could give a reader whiplash.
Suddenly, in the midst of this tension, the body of a man is found on the side of a road. He turns out to be Martel Gale, a famous ex-NFL star. Walt and Lou realize that he is the link between their two cases. Sports agent Vince Wynn and former football team owner Marty Boatwright shoot right to the top of the suspect list. But without evidence, neither Walt nor Lou can move ahead with their investigations.
Meanwhile, Walt has other problems. He is trying to cope with the break-up of his marriage and take care of his twin girls. As a cop, his time is not always his own, and he feels guilty when he has to leave his daughters with sitters or break promises to them. On top of that, a series of break-ins attributed to wild bears is cluttering his calendar.
As the investigation moves along, one prong points to Fiona. Could she be the murderer? She has a ward that she is trying to help recover from a brutal rape and beating. Kira is making great progress, but she knows her mentor's secret. Can she remain quiet as the churning facts seem to put Fiona at risk?
IN HARM'S WAY is a suspenseful novel that challenges armchair detectives in many ways. Red herrings and real clues are scattered along the trail just begging readers to follow them to the unexpected outcome. This is a perfect beach, airplane, or vacation read.
