Because of my own interest in crime fiction, the part of the news article that really caught my attention was the short description of Pearson's work in this genre. I knew that his crime novels are known for their detailed forensics. What I was not aware of was that research conducted for his novel Undercurrents (Find this book in our catalog) has helped investigators solve three real life homicides! According to Shelf Awarenes, at the request of authorities, Pearson also contributed to the task force attempting to catch the Washington, D.C., sniper.

In 1990, Pearson was the first American to be awarded the Raymond Chandler Fulbright Fellowship in Crime Fiction. He is currently a visiting professor at the College of International Language and Literature at Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Pearson's latest work, is due out shortly. Find this book in our catalog.

For fans of forensic crime novels this looks like the ideal summer read!
