His books include ''Undercurrents'' (1988), ''The Angel Maker'' (1993), ''No Witnesses'' (1994), ''Chain of Evidence'' (1995), ''Beyond Recognition'' (1997), and ''The Body of David Hayes'' (2004). Pearson became the first American to receive the Raymond Chandler-Fulbright Fellowship at Oxford University in 1991. Many of his stories are set in the neighborhoods in and around Seattle, Washington, many featuring the Seattle Police detective Lou Boldt and forensic psychologist Daphne Mathews.
After his daughter asked him how Peter Pan met Captain Hook, Pearson teamed up with his long-time friend Dave Barry to co-author a prequel to ''Peter Pan'', ''Peter and the Starcatchers'' which is published in the US by Disney and by Walker Books in the UK. A further prequel, Peter and the Shadow Thieves is now available. Pearson has since been employed again by Disney to author a novel set inside the Magic Kingdom theme park in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Named The Kingdom Keepers, it features Disney characters coming to life and Walt Disney leaving clues for a lost treasure in the park.
He is also the author of ''—adapted as the film ''The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer'' (2003)—and three mysteries featuring Chris Klick, under the pseudonyms of Joyce Reardon, Ph.D., and Wendell McCall, respectively.
He was raised in Riverside, Connecticut, and currently lives in Kirkwood, Missouri, with his wife, Marcelle, and their two daughters, Paige and Storey. Ridley was educated at the Pomfret School, The University Of Kansas, and Brown University.
He also plays bass guitar and sings for the Rock Bottom Remainders.
