The laws of nature take a terrifyingly murderous turn in
this spellbinding addition to the New York Times
bestselling series featuring Park Ranger Anna Pigeon.In
Blood Lure>, Anna returns to the West, where she is sent
on a training assignment to study the grizzly bears in
Waterton/Glacier National Peace Park, straddling the
border between Montana and Canada. But back in her beloved
mountains, where the air is pure and cool, Anna fails to
find the spiritual renewal she expected. Instead, nature
seems to have become twisted, carrying a malevolence
almost human in its focus.Along with bear researcher Joan
Rand and a volatile and unpredictable teenaged boy, Anna
hikes the backcountry, seeking signs of the bears. On
their second night out, the tables are turned: one of the
beasts comes looking for her. Daybreak finds the boy
missing and a camper dead, her neck snapped by a single
blow, the flesh of her face cut away with a knife. Feeling
betrayed by both nature and humanity, Anna must find the
beast stalking the trails-leading her readers deep into a
gripping wilderness life-or-death mystery. Nevada Barr
takes readers on a journey like no other. With Blood Lure,
she proves once again that she "has enough story-telling
ability to power a dozen different series" (The Denver
Post).
