Welcome to the Custer Hill Club--an informal men's club set in a luxurious Adirondack hunting lodge whose members include some of America's most powerful business leaders, military men, and government officials. Ostensibly, the club is a place to gather with old friends, hunt, eat, drink, and talk off-the-record about war, life, death, sex and politics. But one Fall weekend, the Executive Board of the Custer Hill Club gathers to talk about the tragedy of 9/11 and what America must do to retaliate. Their plan is finalized and set into motion. That same weekend, a member of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force is reported missing. His body is soon discovered in the woods near the Custer Hill Club's game reserve. The death appears to be a hunting accident, and that's how the local police first report it, but Detective John Corey has his doubts. As he digs deeper, he begins to unravel a plot involving the Custer Hill Club, a top-secret plan known only by its code name: Wild Fire. Racing against the clock, Detective Corey and his wife, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, find they are the only people in a position to stop the button from being pushed and chaos from being unleashed.

Women will probably like this book more than men, because it has Det. John Corey acting pretty stupid at times - all because of jealousy. There is a task force member whom wife, FBI Agent Kate Mayfield, has a past with. This little undercurrent has you arching your eyebrows and saying, "Oh BROTHER!", at how idiotic one can become when affected by jealousy. I got a real kick out of it, but I can see where men would have a hard time seeing the humor!

This is the latest of the John Corey series, and the worst! The author Has Corey sounding like a bad stand up comic with too many wise cracks at the wrong times.
