Synopsis

Six years ago, witness protection marshal Roland Larson did the unthinkable: he fell in love with a protected witness, Hope Stevens, whose testimony was to put away prominent members of the Romero crime family. When Hope's plan to “cut and run” is interrupted by both the government and the mob, she disappears into a new identity, taking with her not only her testimony but a secret never shared with Larson.Larson, who has been looking for her ever since, is put back on her trail when the Romeros intercept the master WITSEC list from the Justice Department and Hope is believed among the first protected witnesses to be targeted for execution.In a series of terrifying encounters, Larson matches wits with a brutally ingenious killer whose sole target is Hope Stevens. For Larson, the stakes couldn’t be higher—he must find Hope in order to protect her, and simultaneously prevent the mob from auctioning off the master witness protection list—an act that will put seven thousand innocent, and not-so-innocent, lives in jeopardy.Taut and edge-of-the-seat compelling, Cut and Run is a unique thriller that skillfully blends romance and suspense—Ridley Pearson at his heart-pounding best.

What would happen if the list of all persons on the Witness Protection were stolen and put up for bid to the highest bidder? This is one of the premises of Pearson's book.

Goodreads review by Jeff on December 28, 2011

Not up to par for Pearson. The main problem is that the action is only moved by the federal agents for the Witness Protection Program being idiots. One lone man with a knife is able to kill off a half dozen of them with no problem. Also the Witness Protection Program can't even protect it's list of......more

Goodreads review by Jreader on September 06, 2020

Very well written. Good characters, story moves well. Once again, how does Pearson weave so many details of not-usual things into his books? This has a lot of detail on witness protection program, the other of his I read was packed with information about construction and security. There are witticis......more
