Preston and Child do it again! The crown princes of modern fiction have outdone themselves with " White Fire"
In addition to bringing back an old friend, they actually delve quite deeply into Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars and even bring Oscar Wilde into the fray. I really liked the way they tied the legendary, if fictional, detective and the writer to this amazing tale.
As always, the action is great, the characters are believable and the story is intriguing, to say the least.
I have read everything these guys have written and always anticipate cracking the cover on one of their new books. I hope they live forever!

Bryon L who reviewed this book before me hit it right on the head! His words are MY words also. Good ole Preston & Child, they always come through with my favorite character Pendergast. This book had it all, picked it up one night and finished by the next. It pulls you in and never lets go! 3 Cheers and 10 Stars( if I could)!
I thought this started out with a good concept for a good story until----when it got to the Sherlock Holmes part I just had a feeling it was going to lose my interest and it did, eventually.
Starts out with a bang but by half way I was struggling with it because it seemed to bog down so much with so much uninteresting information about Holmes and it just dragged and dragged - tried skipping and skimming but it had just lost me and I couldn't get my focus back on the main part of the story which is scattered so much you end up drifting around, serial killings of the minors, fires, Holmes? just too much drifting around the main story and made it not worth the time to sort it out

I really loved how fast-paced this book was! Plus I loved the location set in the Rocky Mountains!!!
