Nevada Barr brings her acclaimed New York Times bestselling
Anna Pigeon series to Minotaur Books with one of her most
compelling, complex novels yet! Anna Pigeon, a Ranger with
the National Park Service, is newly married but on
administrative leave from her job as she recovers from the
traumas of the past couple of months. While the physical
wounds have healed, the emotional ones are still healing.
With her new husband back at work, Anna decides to go and
stay with an old friend from the Park Service, Geneva, who
works as a singer at the New Orleans Jazz NHP. She isn’t in
town long before she crosses paths with a tenant of
Geneva’s, a creepy guy named Jordan. She discovers what
seems to be an attempt to place a curse on her—a gruesomely
killed pigeon marked with runic symbols; and begins to
slowly find traces of very dark doings in the heart of
post-Katrina New Orleans. Tied up in all of this is Jordan,
who is not at all what he appears to be; a fugitive mother
accused of killing her husband and daughters in a fire; and
faint whispers of unpleasant goings-on in the heart of the
slowly recovering city.
Now it will take all of Anna’s skills learned in the untamed
outdoors to navigate the urban jungle in which she finds
herself, to uncover the threads that connect these seemingly
disparate people, and to rescue the most vulnerable of
creatures from the most savage of animals.
Hello Ms. Barr, I am a huge fan of your Anna Pigeon books. I could read them over and over! I had a near fatal brain anurysm and my daughter, an only child, lived over seven hours away. Because i had no one else to help me, she quit her job as an adult medical and food stamp case worker and moved in to take care of me. Tragically, just four days after she moved in, she died in my arms from a blood clot to her lungs. The pain and depression are difficult at times. She loved your books and brought one for me to read, but i never got the chance. After her funeral, everyone came to my house. Someone stole your book, her bible and her cell phone. What kind of person would do this? My only income is three hundred sixty four dollars monthly for disability, so i simply cannot afford to purchase books. i would love to have all the books you have written to read over and over again. Thank you so much for writing such wonderful books and i hope you continue to write for many years to come. blessings, barbara corbitt [email protected] (Barbara Corbitt 12:51pm June 30, 2014)
