I have probably read this book about three times in paperback, now that I have it on kindle, hopefully I won't lose it,The book is set in Huntington Beach, CA so if you are from the So Cal area you will recognize many areas of the setting.
I find it to be a real page turner and though I have re-read it a few times over about 20 years I still enjoy it.
All in all, I recommend it if you are a suspense,crime, fictional with a hint of reality.
Let me know if you found this review *Helpful*

Balefire edition by Ken Goddard Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Book was what I expected and in good shape.
Great book. Heavy suspense. I originally bought this book in the 70's,
I read this book in 1984 during the time of the Olympics when I was a police officer for a city in LA County. Recently I found the book again and enjoyed it even more. Entertaining, fast pace and I had a hard time putting it down.
I especially liked this book because it all happens in my home town but in an earlier time than when I moved here. It was good and moved along fast.
I originally bought this just after the L.A. olympics as a paperback to read on a long plane trip. I loved it! Now I bought it in hardback as a keepsake. This is a fantastic story, one of the best I ever read. Also, cars play an important part in the story. I think this is the best "cars in crime" story ever, better even than "Bullitt".
This book was written before the 1984 Olympics. Today - one month before the 2004 Olympics - I found the story just as plausible and terrifying now as it was 20 years ago. I think the most disturbing part of the book is how successfully a single (yet well-financed) terrorist could disrupt, distract and divert the focus of law enforcement by knowing how they think and using it against them. Perhaps the greatest feat in Balefire is not the physical action (there's plenty - it's not all psychological), but the ability of the protagonists to think outside the box they let themselves get herded into. I don't know why this never got made into a movie. Maybe it's too real. Read the book -- with the lights on.
Set in 1984 just before the Olympics. Most of the local information is very out of date so if you want to read about a story set in Huntington Beach don’t bother.
