In this gripping novel, Lou Boldt is back and entering dark territory. 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 Immigration and Naturalization Service.

"A great page turner...takes place in Seattle. A shipping container found floating in the Puget Sound...with screaming people inside. A great look into the horrifying "concept" of the importation of illegal aliens. " — Marilyn (5 out of 5 stars)

" Exciting and unusual mystery. Sometimes stretched the boundaries of what is reasonable even in light fiction. "
" maybe for mystery booklist for 569? "
" Not my favorite of the Boldt books. Slow moving to start, taking me about half way through the book before it started picking up steam. It was sort of like a movie that you are half way through but not sure if it's worth your time to keep watching? Glad I hung in there for the ending. "
" Yet another exciting adventure with Lou Boldt. You can't go wrong reading a Ridley Pearson novel. Gave this one 4 stars. "

" Heard this on CD,LOVED it! "
" First time I've read Ridley Pearson's work. Kept me interested throughout the pages. I'll be reading more of his work. "
" Slow getting into it just like The Pied Piper, but interesting once it got my attention. "
" While not the best book IMHO, of the Boldt/Matthews series this is still a top notch thrill ride by Pearson. "
" An older book (1990s), yet the storyline involving trafficking in illegal aliens seems very current. "
" Enjoyed reading this Ridley Pearson book. As normal it was a very good read. This is a good Lou Bolt. J. Robert Ewbank author "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the 'Isms'" "
