The third part of the novel I would like to focus on is the rescue of Keith London. This is what you could call the climax of the novel. After intense investigation Cardinal and Delorme believe that the old pump house. They go with a full squad of fully armed officers because they not only found clues in Erics house saying where he was going to kill Keith London, but there was also a list of objects that he was bringing with him, including a crowbar, scissors, scalples, and many other violent objects. The sneak their way into the pumphouse but not before Eric catches on that they are there. He flees and Cardinal follows, in the end there is a confrontation in the van Eric had stolen and it ends up going through the ice, taking Eric, and almost taking Detective Cardinal down with it. This is obviously a significant part because it is the climactic event and everything else that happens after it is part of the falling action.
