BOOK REPORT......

White Fire - Preston & Child

















Product Description(Amazon.com)
Special Agent Pendergast arrives at an exclusive Colorado ski resort to rescue his protégée, Corrie Swanson, from serious trouble with the law. His sudden appearance coincides with the first attack of a murderous arsonist who--with brutal precision--begins burning down multimillion-dollar mansions with the families locked inside. After springing Corrie from jail, Pendergast learns she made a discovery while examining the bones of several miners who were killed 150 years earlier by a rogue grizzly bear. Her finding is so astonishing that it, even more than the arsonist, threatens the resort's very existence.
Drawn deeper into the investigation, Pendergast uncovers a mysterious connection between the dead miners and a fabled, long-lost Sherlock Holmes story--one that might just offer the key to the modern day killings as well.
Now, with the ski resort snowed in and under savage attack--and Corrie's life suddenly in grave danger--Pendergast must solve the enigma of the past before the town of the present goes up in flames.

MY THOUGHTS:  This is a new author for me.  I've started a series I didn't know about.  So now I'm going to have to put this series on my ever growing list.  Excellent book, the writing is awesome.  All the characters are linked to story and the events unfurl beautifully.  Corrie arrives to investigate some bones of some miners from the 1800's.  And eventually she gets into trouble and gets thrown in jail.  So Pendergast has to come and rescue her.  While there, an arsonist is at work burning down million dollar homes with the families inside.  Eventually the arson and the long ago miners are linked to the case.  This book just flows from one clue to another, leading to the tantalizing ending.  I give this book 5.....
