Description
In 1876, in a mining camp called Roaring Fork in the Colorado Rockies, eleven miners were killed by a rogue grizzly bear. Corrie Swanson has arranged to examine the miners’ remains. When she makes a shocking discovery, town leaders try to stop her from exposing their community’s dark and bloody past.
Just as Special Agent Pendergast of the FBI arrives to rescue his protege, the town comes under siege by a murderous arsonist who-with brutal precision-begins burning down multimillion-dollar mansions with the families locked inside. Drawn deeper into the investigation, Pendergast discovers a long-lost Sherlock Holmes story that may be the key to solving both the mystery of the long-dead miners and 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.

“Pendergast–an always-black-clad pale blond polymath, gaunt yet physically deadly, an FBI agent operating without supervision or reprimand–lurks at the dark, sharp edge of crime fiction protagonists.”—Kirkus Reviews“Preston and Child continue their dominance of the thriller genre with stellar writing and twists that come at a furious pace. Others may try to write like them, but no one can come close. The best in the business deliver another winner.”—RT Book Reviews on Cold Vengeance“This is no dream; it’s the authors’ best book in years. Pendergast has to rein in his feelings to pay attention to the details, and it’s fun to see the role reversal between him and the usually emotional D’Agosta. Not to be missed by either newcomers or die-hard fans.”—Library Journal (starred review) for Fever Dream
