Synopsis

Seattle police detective Lou Boldt and police psychologist Daphne Matthews return in No Witnesses to confront the most challenging case of their careers. People are dying throughout Seattle — victims of a madman who is placing poisoned food in neighborhood supermarkets. But the criminal is intelligent: he writes the police chilling extortion letters — faxed directly from a laptop computer over public telephone lines — and retrieves his ransom electronically, through automatic teller machines in hundreds of locations around the city. And while he is a murderer, his crimes take place miles and often days away from his innocent victims' demise. How can you stop a criminal when there is no crime scene to study — and no witnesses? Daphne knows that no killings take place in a vacuum: there must be psychological motivations that she should be able to determine if she digs deep enough. And Boldt knows that despite the seemingly impossible task, there must be some forensic trail that he can follow — even if it is only through the netherworld of computer networks. The two of them work their own ways, with their own agendas, to track a killer — only to find a truth darker than they ever imagined. No Witnesses is Pearson's most accomplished and complex crime novel — a book that brings the police thriller into fascinating new territory.

Goodreads review by Nik on December 29, 2021

Ridley Pearson’s 1994 thriller No Witnesses doesn’t disappoint. I’ve yet to encounter one of his books that doesn’t deliver. Homicide detective sergeant Lou Boldt is approached by an old associate, the police department’s forensic psychologist, Daphne Matthews. Her boyfriend Owen Adler is a multi-mil......more

Goodreads review by James on October 29, 2012

No Witnesses is the first Ridley Pearson novel that I’ve read. It’s obviously part of a series and not the first one in the series so it took me a few chapters to get a feel for the characters. I think this would have been easier if I had started with book one. The story centers around a person who......more

Goodreads review by Jody on October 30, 2013

I don't think I've ever read a bad Pearson book. Pearson writes across genres and covers so many different topics yet he comes off as being comfortable with all of them. This one was a mystery and judging from some of the reviews on here, this was either the second or third in a series. I did not kn......more

Goodreads review by Dollie on May 28, 2018

I picked up this book and started reading and I could not put it down. Someone in the Seattle area is tampering with food and killing people. It’s up to Lou Boldt and Daphne Matthews to try to find them. Their only problem is that they have no witnesses. They don’t know where to start. They do start......more
