Narrative During Books White Fire (Pendergast #13)

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.

Critique Appertaining To Books White Fire (Pendergast #13)
After a break of many years I returned to my favourite series of old. It was a superb read. In my opinion this is the absolute highlight in this series so far. Starting with a dialogue between Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle about a horrible story of a men eating Grizzly the authors switch into present time. Corrie Swanson tries to find out more about the skeletons of miners eaten by a grizzly. Soon she finds out that there was cannibalism involved and no bear attack. Where is the connection

Not one of the better books from this team. Agent Pendergast takes a backseat to Corrie Swanson (from Still Life With Crows), his protege, and a student at John Jay College, majoring in criminology. She has to write a thesis and has stumbled on a series of grizzly bear maulings of miners in a Colorado mining camp, now turned into one of the priciest ski resorts in the country. At the same time, someone is targeting the homes and lives of these one-percenters, burning their houses down with the

First up I have to admit that I have not read any of this series about FBI Agent Pendergast. However, I don't think that matters as it seems to be an off-shoot of the series entered on Pendergast's protege, Corrie Swanson. Corrie is a college student who decides to enter a competition for the best forensic study by doing an in depth examination of some recently exhumed bones of a group of miners killed and eaten by a bear in the Rockies. However, when Corrie examines the bones she finds that the

Well, I have read all the previous books in this series. Some are better, some are worse. Unfortunately, this is not the better one. The whole series turns in some bizarre, a bit dull direction. The story focuses on Corrie Swanson and Pendergast. Separately, they are not working together on a case most of the time, though Pendergast comes to Colorado to help Corrie arrested by the local police. And its a pity because maybe them working together could actually add some liveliness to this story.



Sheesh. I have long been a fan of Pendergast. I mean, I think I may have a little crush on him- so I'm willing to suspend disbelief (he's a bit unreal) and put up with a bit of nonsense (it's genre thriller, nothing literary at all). But. This book utterly failed to live up to my expectations. I read it in two sittings and felt as it focused more on the protege than on Pendergast. The horror felt flat and the who-done-it aspect was not there. It pains me to think that this series may be on the

3.5 starsFeaturing Corrie Swanson, the young girl from an early book in the series and a personal favourite of mine: Still Life with Crows, this takes Pendergast to the terribly cold and rather inhospitable Rocky Mountains, where very rich people are hiding a very dark secret. The main focus is Carrie, who travels to Roaring Fork for her thesis project, a forensic investigation into a series of bear attacks which killed 11 miners in 1876. She's somewhat of an abrasive main character, though
