Publisher Description

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Tenacious park ranger Anna Pigeon leaves the country wilderness for the wilds of New York City, where her sister Molly is hospitalized, in this seventh installment of Barr's popular series (Blind Descent, etc.). Although Anna is on leave, she gets involved in the investigation of two murders. An unidentified child falls to her death from the Statue of Liberty. The main suspect dies. Anna is attacked. An actress is fatally bludgeoned on Ellis Island. Anna's conviction that these events are connected leads to a cross-country search for a right-wing fanatic. As expected with Barr, the narrative teems with memorable characters-among them Charlie DeLeo, the caretaker of the Statue of Liberty's torch, and Anna's former lover, FBI
Customer Reviews
Action & excitement woven into a lesson on the wonders of out national parks
I love Nevada Barr’s Ranger Anna stories. She makes me want to be a park ranger. The details of the various parks never fail to interest me. The stories are fast paced and action packed. I’m on my third reading of the series and as soon as I finish one book I am ready to start the next.
