THE ART OF DECEPTION

Beginning with Mary Ann Walker's jump off a Seattle Bridge, then turning to the investigation of two missing women, a murdered road crew worker, and a peeping tom, this police procedural tells a complex tale. As the police follow leads, the killers leave a multitude of false clues in an attempt to confuse the detectives. Chilling murders and creepy midnight stalkings, described in Pearson's own relentless gravelly voice, add to the story. Pearson reads in a slow, even voice that dips to inaudibility at the end of sentences. Nevertheless, his captivating story never ceases to disturb. M.B.K.
