In Peter Heller's new novel
Celine, the elegant Celine shows us her charms and quick shooting. A licensed PI, she lives near the Brooklyn Bridge. She and her partner/husband, Pete,
specialize in finding missing persons, with a success rate higher than
that of the FBI. The main plot centers on a daughter's quest for her
father, who "disappeared" at Yellowstone many years back, supposedly
mauled by a grizzly. Hired by the desperate
daughter, Celine learns that local trackers and lawmen doubt the bear
story, and as she and Pete approach the park, they realize they're being
shadowed by an FBI sniper. The missing father was a charismatic, world-famous National
Geographic photographer who had been in Chile during the overthrow of
President Salvador Allende; eventually we learn that he had pictures
that compromised the current government. Near the conclusion, the G-man
tries to take them out, but the 68-year-old asthmatic Celine is also a
quick draw. Fun and exciting! ML
