    Som ranger i USAs National Park Service er det Annas job at hjælpe til at beskytte uciviliserede og ensomme steder fra civilisationens ødelæggende hånd.

Men nu er der et lig mere om bord – en nylig myrdet udefrakommende, som mistænkeligt nok er iført tøj fra 1920′erne – og den efterforskende parkranger Anna Pigeon bliver draget ind i et mareridt af begærlighed og mord. og kommer dødbringende tæt på en morder.

    Det siges at De Gamle stadig hjemsøger Mesa Verde. Hvileløse Anasazi-ånder, der mejslede deres hjem i bjergenes overflade for ottehundreder år siden – for så at forsvinde sporløst fra jordens overflade. Anna Pigeon, nytilkommen ranger i Colorados Mesa Verde National Park, er en kvinde med problemer. Hun er enke, hun er alkoholiker og har lige skiftet job. Hun søger fred for sine indre dæmoner i den ældgamle klippe-by fra en forsvundet oprindelig amerikansk civilisation. Men en uforklarlig sygdom der rammer gæsterne i den populære Nationalpark, et barns død og mordet på en ven, hiver hende væk fra drømmerierne. Anna må finde den meget menneskelige kilde til den onde vind der blæser iskoldt mellem ruinerne. For den truer flere uskyldiges liv, Moder Jord. og Anna selv.Pressen om Anna Pigeon-serien:“… man rives med som af en uventet flodbølge gennem et af parkens flodlejer. Kampen går mellem dem, der vil bevare naturen »ren« og dem, der har andre planer.”- Bo Bjørnvig, Weekendavisen“Anna er i høj grad et bekendtskab værd som hard core udgave af den moderne handlekraftige kvindetype, der har tilladt sig at smide et par skraldespande søde gammeldags kvindelige dyder på civilisationens losseplads for ikke-genbrugeligt affald. …en fundamentalt spændende og overbevisende krimiroman, skrevet med knivskarpt blik for den menneskelige dårskab.”- Anne-Marie Gregersen, Berlingske Tidende“Med naturen som en enestående kulisse giver Nevada Barr , selv fhv. ranger, os nogle spændende, vedkommende og barske krimier. Hun har blik for den menneskelige svaghed og kan godt banke en krimi-intrige på plads.”- Holger Ruppert, B.T.

Four young people, all seasonal park employees, have disappeared, and two weeks of work by crack search-and-rescue teams have failed to turn up a single clue; investigators are unsure as to whether the four went AWOL for reasons of their own - or died in the park.

Her twenty-something roommates give up their party-girl ways and panic; her new restaurant colleagues regard her with suspicion and fear.

    The five-week New York Times bestseller, now in paperback.Running from a proposal of marriage from Sheriff Paul Davidson, Anna Pigeon takes a post as a temporary supervisory ranger on remote Garden Key in Dry Tortugas National Park, a small grouping of tiny islands in a natural harbor seventy miles off Key West. This island paradise has secrets it would keep; not just in the present, but in shadows from its gritty past, when it served as a prison for the Lincoln conspirators during and after the Civil War. Here, on this last lick of the United States, in a giant crumbling fortress, Anna has little company except for the occasional sunburned tourist or unruly shrimper. When her sister, Molly, sends her a packet of letters from a great-great-aunt who lived at the fort with her husband, a career soldier, Anna's fantasy life is filled with visions of this long-ago time. When a mysterious boat explosion-and the discovery of unidentifiable body parts-keeps her anchored to the present, Anna finds crimes of past and present closing in on her. A tangled web that was woven before she arrived begins to threaten her sanity and her life. Cut off from the mainland by miles of water, poor phone service, and sketchy radio contact, and aided by one law-enforcement ranger, Anna must find answers or weather a storm to rival the hurricanes for which the islands are famous.
