Ridley Pearson CD Collection: The Pied Piper, The First Victim, Parallel Lies
The Pied Piper
In Seattle, they're calling him The Pied Piper—someone who comes in the night and takes children away. To newly promoted police lieutenant Lou Boldt and police psychologist Daphne Matthews, it's clear this isn't about a single lunatic or random these crimes are well orchestrated, well executed, and, most chilling of all, occurring in cities across the country. The First Victim
A shipping container washed ashore leads Seattle television news anchor Stevie McNeal and reporter friend Melissa on the trail of a scam involving the importation of illegal aliens. A career stepping-stone for McNeal, the investigation puts her at cross-purposes with the Seattle Police Department's Lou Boldt and Sergeant John LaMoia. When Melissa disappears, perhaps at the hands of the Chinese Triad, McNeal turns from foe to ally and teams up with the detectives on an investigation that takes them from Seattle's docklands to the offices of the INS. Parallel Lies
A grieving man is on a mission to bring down the railroad company he blames for his wife and children's deaths—no matter who else dies in the process. Tyler, the ex-cop who is looking to redeem himself after being suspended from the force, will stop at nothing to catch the perpetrator.

The book was not terrible (I like campy modern day cop stories), but the guy who read stunk! the voices were cartoon like and there were pauses where a line finished and another one began.
