White Fire

Special Agent Pendergast arrives at an exclusive Colorado ski resort to rescue his prot&233;g&233;e, 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.
