The Red Room

Praise for the Chu-Knox Series
“Brainy … [a] Rubik’s cube of a thriller.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review on The Red Room

“Pearson offers readers a rainbow of Istanbul’s local color.” — St.  Louis Post-Dispatch

“Pearson’s third book in the Risk Agent series is an E-ticket adventure of lies, betrayal and violence… Pearson leaves no doubt that he can handle the espionage trade. The writing style is tense, breathless. The plot, a thick maze of questions.”
—The Arizona Republic

“Istanbul comes alive in Pearson’s prose, capturing its multiple flavors and presenting its fascinating conglomeration of East and West blended through thousands of years of history. Yet he keeps the plot racing along to the climax. This book will keep you turning the pages until the very end.”
— Suspense Magazine on The Red Room
 
“Pearson has crafted a great series with characters and settings the reader will enjoy, and demand will be heavy owing to his growing fanbase.”
—Library Journal on The Red Room

“Exciting…Pearson peels away the various layers of deception before the satisfying denouement.”

— St. Louis Today on Choke Point
