Ridley Pearson is a New York Times bestselling novelist. Over
the past sixteen years, he has crafted fourteen highly praised, frighteningly
real thrillers, with a fifteenth novel entitled The Art of Deception

that grips the imagination, emphasizes unusual crimes and dazzling
investigative detail, and, all too often, imitates life. Pearson's
previous novels have helped solve two real-life homicides, helped
settle an environmental lawsuit and regularly tackle subjects that
eerily become national news after he writes about them. Pearson divides

The Art of Deception
Friendship comes at a cost. For beautiful Mary-Ann Walker, who struggled with the challenges of a difficult family history, that cost proves to be her life. With Mary-Ann's past as its only guideline, the Seattle homicide unit must delve into the relationships between a misguided young woman, her family, friends and lover. Let the psychological duels begin. Seattle Police forensic psychologist Daphne Matthews, who volunteers as a teenage runaway counselor, is haunted by the loss of a suicide, a "jumper," of a year earlier. When a woman's body is found beneath the Aurora Bridge, Matthews is one of the first at the scene -- and begins a puzzling investigation that is entangled with the pasts of Matthews, the victim, and even Seattle itself.
