About this audiobook
Police Sergeant Lou Boldt heads a special task force within Seattle’s Homicide bureau. His job: find and stop the Cross Killer, a twisted, perverse serial murderer who has eluded police for six months and paralyzed the city. But when a body washes up on the shore of Puget Sound, Boldt thinks the killer has finally made a mistake.
This body shows some of the work of the Cross Killer—but a job badly botched. Did this woman die while trying to escape? Did she knowingly jump in the water to preserve a clue? And is she now desperately trying to tell Boldt something? With the help of the alluring Daphne Matthews, a police psychologist, Boldt pieces together the complex puzzle—and the listener is taken along on a journey into the mind of a killer, and into the day-by-day nuts and bolts of police work, that is among the best in modern crime fiction. Undercurrents is a roller-coaster ride in the dark that will intrigue, startle, and satisfy.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My first introduction to both author Ridley Pearson and Detective Lou Boldt. I enjoy watching all of the police television offerings and whether past (MOD Squad, Kojak, NYPD Blue, The Rookie, Hill Street Blues, Without a Trace) to present (Law & Order SVU, Unforgettable, Blue Bloods). Ridley Pearson takes the reader on a visual and emotional journey in book form of police procedure, forensic details, and psychological profiling as though you are a part of each step in the investigation and an integral part of the team. It is more intricate than any television drama or series can offer. It's an intense read but thoroughly absorbing without becoming a textbook or educational lecture. There are some authors who take you on so many asides to ensure you become a subject matter expert that the story is forgotten or paused until they 'teach' you the background. Ridley Pearson could surely teach them some valuable writing tips! I can't wait to investigate more titles by Ridley Pearson. :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great murder mystery that takes place in Seattle. One of the key parts of the story is the marine study of undercurrents in the Puget Sound, which I found fascinating.
