Teaser Tuesdays – January 27, 2015

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Anyone can participate.

If you’re new to Teaser Tuesdays, the details are at MizB’s Should Be Reading or on my Teaser Tuesdays Page.

Last week my Teaser was a book by Douglas Preston. By coincidence, this week it is from a book by Lincoln Child. Together they write the best-selling Pendergast series.

Terminal Freeze
by Lincoln Child

Large ice boulders lay scattered along its base like so many monstrous diamonds, along with dagger-like shards of ancient lava. Marshall opened his mouth to warn Sully against standing so close: the glacier was as dangerous as it was pretty since the weather had turned warmer and the ice front was calving off deadly chunks at an unprecedented rate.

White Fire
by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
(Pendergast #13)

“Perhaps she didn’t know that Holmes was a fictional detective, we only deal in non-fiction here. . . . . But there was a copy in there of Doyle’s diary–just a photocopy, unfortunately–and it made entertaining reading for an old man stuck in a thankless job in a dusty archive.”

Dust jacket blurb:

Special Agent Pendergast arrives at an exclusive Colorado ski resort to rescue his protégée 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. . . . .

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.

Two Graves
by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

“You’ve got quite a killer on your hands–let’s hope you don’t have a … problem.”

The smile indicated he very much hoped the opposite.
