The Pied Piper by Ridley Pearson
This is the cover I have for my 1st edition hardback published in 1998.
Look at the cover closely, because there are all kinds of goodies hidden within.

“Well, you little shit.” She grinned widely. “I love the way you operate, you rogue son-of-a-bitch. Have I told you that?”
(Page 56 in hardcover, published in 1998)
Book Beginnings
The train left the station headed for nowhere, its destination also its point of embarkation, its purpose not to transport its passengers, but to feed them.
GOODREADS BLURB: In Seattle, they’re calling him “The Pied Piper” because he comes in the night and takes children away. To police lieutenant Lou Boldt and psychologist Daphne Matthews, it’s clear this isn’t about a single lunatic or random kidnappings: these crimes are well orchestrated, well executed, and, most chilling of all, occurring in cities all over the country.

WHICH COVER WOULD YOU CHOOSE, including the one above?
Sounds like an ominous, dark and sinister operation from the blurb.
I love the sound of this one…great excerpt, too. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy. Thanks for visiting my blog.
LOL I vaguely remember this one. I like the top cover but the second one in the bottom selection is cool too.
My Friday 56 from In The Blue Hour
The Pied Piper sounds great, and looks like it would be an interesting series. Also, is the a coconut on your bookshelf? What an awesome souvenir!
This sounds good. I’ll have to add it to my never-ending list. I have a mystery this week – Ill Met by Murder by Elizabeth J. Duncan. Happy reading!
This one sounds so interesting! I’m already creeped out by the concept. I hope you enjoy your weekend!
I can remember my dad getting books from the library by this author and whilst I used to sneak his books away once he had finished with them, so that I could read something a little more interesting than the children’s library selection, this one must have escaped my clutches!
It looks as though all the stories in the series can be read quite happily as stand alones, but it would be interesting to see if you come to the same conclusion once you have finished reading 🙂
I wonder why these people had to get on board a train in order to be fed?
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.

Sounds like a good mystery.
I am wondering what the little shit did too… lol.
Happy weekend!
This sounds like a good one! 🙂
