Soon after Anna Pigeon joins the famed wolf study team of Isle Royale National Park in the middle of Lake Superior, the wolf packs begin to behave in peculiar ways.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller Barr's chilling 14th mystery thriller to feature National Park Service ranger Anna Pigeon (after 2005's Hard Truth), Anna joins the team of Winter Study, a research project intended to study the wolves and moose of Michigan's Isle Royale National Park, the setting for 1994's A Superior Death. Complicating the study is Bob Menechinn, an untrustworthy Homeland Security officer assigned to shadow the research. Crowded into inhospitable lodgings and persecuted by unrelenting cold, Anna is far from her comfort zone as nature turns awry with a series of bizarre events. The team stumbles upon the tracks and the mutilated victim of a preternaturally large, unidentified beast, and local packs of wolves descend on human-populated areas, a behavior out of step with their species. The campfire legends of youth metastasize into adult fears as Anna must piece together a connection between these anomalies while guarding herself from the strangers around her. Barr's visceral descriptions of the winter cold nicely complement the paranoia that follows the appearance of the mythic monsters at play. Author tour.
Customer Reviews
Thanks for a great book.
As usual, Anna &Nevada, were terrific. I've read almost all of her series and I think that this was the scariest. So glad she -they- came to the best equitable conclusion. Thanks
Wordy and far fetched
Not equal to the author’s other books. Physical antics not believable.

First I love the story, the way it was written,the way it was developed, the constant suspense.
The only thing I did not like, was the insert of such foul language, it did not seem as Nevada speaking through Anna. With her vocabulary I
