CHASING FIRE by Nora Roberts

Rowan Tripp is a fire jumper, a zunie.  Her father was one of the best fire jumpers.   They parachute into a fire and work to contain and put out the fire.   Last year a fire jumper was killed on his jump into the fire and Ro still has nightmares about it.  Come to find out 1 of the base cooks had an affair with that jumper and was pregnant.  She blamed Ro and the entire team for his death.  Now a year later Ro and the other experienced jumpers are training a new group.   Then the cook is rehired-after attacking Ro last season-and bizarre things start to happen.  Among them the cook puts pig blood all over Ro's room.  And, in murder and you have quite the story.
It kinda bogged down for me.
