What this book is about
The 13th Pendergast novel by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (2013). Corrie Swanson, now an FBI trainee, goes to a Colorado ski town to write her thesis on a Victorian-era massacre. When arsonists begin targeting houses, she gets involved — as does Pendergast, who discovers a previously unknown Sherlock Holmes story that may be the key to everything. One of the lighter-toned entries in the series.
