    About this audiobook

    Umberto Alvarez is a grieving man whose quest is to bring down the railroad company he blames for the death of his wife and children three years earlier—no matter who gets in the way. Peter Tyler is an ex-cop looking to redeem himself after being suspended from the force. Now an investigator with the National Transportations Safety Board, he will stop at nothing to catch the elusive Alvarez.

    But the case is more complicated than it seems. As Tyler’s investigation proceeds, it becomes apparent that Alvarez is no terrorist—in fact, the more Tyler investigates, the closer he comes to the real truth.

    Packed with action, laced with romance, brimming with heart-stopping suspense, and marked by the intelligence and humility that make Ridley Pearson’s novels stand apart from others in the genre, Parallel Lies will cause listeners to agree that he is “the best damn thriller writer on the planet” (Booklist).

      I really like Pearson's Lou Bolt series. This is a standalone and, honestly, not really all that interesting. Umberto Alverez's wife and twins were killed when a train hit their car at a crossing. Alverez is now taking out revenge on the railroad.
    • 4/5
      This was a very suspenseful book from Ridley Pearson. I liked the characters of Peter Tyler and Nell Priest. Pearson's characters are full and very humanly flawed, which I like. He makes the reader question right and wrong. The lines are often blurred.

      This book was an amazing book. I read thousands of books every year and if anyone is a good judge of a good book, lol, that would be moi! This book keeps you reading, You want to see what happens because you just don't know. Ridley Pearson a great author, definitely will read more of his books in future. Definitely a writer's inspiration!
