The Room of White Fire

By T. Jefferson Parker

Book Overview

"Mesmerizing and haunting."--Lisa Gardner

"T. Jefferson Parker is the poet of American crime fiction, and The Room of White Fire absolutely proves why."--C.J. Box

In this stirring thriller from New York Times bestseller and award winner T. Jefferson Parker, P.I. Roland Ford must hunt down a soldier who is damaged by war, dangerous, and on the run.

Roland Ford--once a cop, then a marine, now a private investigator--is good at finding people. But when he's asked to locate an Air Force veteran who's escaped from a mental institution, he realizes he's been drawn into something deep and dark. What he doesn't know is why a shroud of secrecy hangs over the disappearance of Clay Hickman--and why he's getting a different story from everyone involved. In a flash, what began as just a job becomes a life-or-death obsession for Ford, pitting him against immensely powerful and treacherous people and forcing him to contend with chilling questions about truth, justice, and the American way.

"A fast-paced, beautifully written thriller."--The Washington Post

Customer Reviews

Good chase book

Setting aside that it is a commentary about the use of torture it is a strong cat and mouse story. There is nothing very memorable but the characters are well developed and there is just enough plot to keep you reading. In the end though there is no emotional impact or anything to think about. Not one of Mr. Parker's better works.
