Synopsis "Fuego Blanco / White Fire (in Spanish)"

Pasado y presente se entrelazan en este nuevo y escalofriante misterio del inspector Aloysius Pendergast.Hace ciento cincuenta años un oso devoró a once mineros en Roaring Fork, Colorado. Ocho de los esqueletos todavía se conservan en un almacén del pueblo, convertido ahora en un exclusivo destino para esquiadores.Hacia allí se dirige Corrie Swanson, la impetuosa y rebelde protegida de Pendergast, con la intención de estudiar los restos de los mineros para su tesis doctoral en criminología. El primer día, el jefe de policía le presta todas las facilidades; al día siguiente, sin embargo, le informa de que ya no tiene autorización para investigar. Encarcelada por no haber acatado tal prohibición, Corrie pide ayuda al agente especial del FBI Aloysius Pendergast. No está dispuesta a renunciar a su investigación, sobre todo ahora que, tras haber examinado los huesos, está convencida de que los mineros no murieron atrapados en las garras del oso. La aportación de Pendergast será aún más inesperada: descubrirá una posible conexión entre la muerte de los mineros y un relato supuestamente perdido de Sherlock Holmes. English Description Colorado, 1876: At a remote mining camp high in the Rocky Mountains, eleven silver miners are killed, their bodies horribly mutilated, flesh devoured. Bear attack? Not everyone thinks so. 136 years later, the cemetery where the miners were buried is being cleared for new development. Forensic pathologist Corrie Swanson has arranged to study the bones. What she discovers will expose a conspiracy that's as lethal today as it was a century ago. As the winter snows fall, Corrie's life depends on unravelling a dark secret... the key to which may just lie in a lost Sherlock Holmes story, a tale allegedly so horrifying that its author never dared publish it.

Trama emocionante como en todas las novelas del agente Pendergast, sin embargo, como no empatizo con el personaje de Corrie Swanson y ella aparece en buena parte del libro, no me agradó tanto esta entrega, sin embargo la recomiendo.
