98. The Siege

aRated 5 Stars
From:  Library

Thank you so much Stacey for bringing this book to my attention.  It would have slipped right past me otherwise.  It was absolutely riveting.  I read it all in one long gulp.   I didn't have any other pressing things I had to do and it was so hard to put down that I just indulged myself.   I went to Stephen White's website and looked at the pictures he had posted of the locations on the Yale Campus that he used in the book.  I was delighted with the Yale Whale.  It looked like such a fun building.   I have ordered another book in this series, Kill Me - I am doing this all out of order.  Oh well

LIBRARY SUMMARY:  As a lovely weekend approaches on the Yale campus it appears that a number of students--including the sons of both the Secretary of the Army and newest Supreme Court justice--may have gone missing. Attention quickly focuses on the fortress-like tomb of one of Yale's secret societies. Suspended Boulder police detective Sam Purdy soon finds himself in New Haven, where he joins FBI agent Christopher Poe and CIA analyst Deirdre Drake to solve the riddle of what is going on inside the windowless stone tomb on the edge of campus as, one by one, students are sent out of the building's front door to die.
