Publisher Description

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 7,000 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. Suspense is created by a personal relationship between one of the Witness Protection agents and a past protectee who has dropped out of the program, but is high on the crime family's hit list. A child is involved and is a little to precocious for belief, but adds to the suspense. Good Read."

    " Great book! Tightly written and colorfully drawn, the story moves fast so it isn't a book to pick up if you have other "thinking" things to do. Dick Hill is a gifted narrator; convincing voices and skillful storytelling make the story an outstanding audio book. "

    " Richard and I listened to this on tape on our way to Muir Woods. I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed reading his "Art of Deception," which could have been the format or the story. It was engaging, and fun to listen with someone else. We sometimes turned it off to talk about what would happen next, or the fact that the main character can never manage to fire his weapon properly, and that was fun. "

    " I really don't care for kidnap stories. While some of this story involves a cunning villain brutally pursuing his prey, too much of this story revolves around innocent victims of both mature and young. 5 of 10 stars "

    " This book would serve a writing class as a template for editing. Every non essential word and phrase was cut out, leaving only plot and action. Didn't leave much for character development or anything complex. Nothing remained but fast paced pulp fiction. Ridley is a better writer than this. "
