First Victim
Ridley Pearson strikes again, with a gripping Lou Boldt novel based on some of today's grittiest headlines. "The First Victim" follows ambitious news anchor, Stevie McNeal, and her young reporter friend Melissa as they investigate 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. But 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.
