A former actress, restaurant critic, and National Park Service ranger, Nevada Barr is best known for her bestselling series of mysteries starring her intrepid heroine -- and alter ego -- Anna Pigeon.
When Park Ranger Anna Pigeon answers a call to historic Mt. Locust, once a producing plantation and inn on Mississippi's Natchez Trace Parkway, the last thing she expects to encounter is a naked and very dead man. His body bears what looks like the brutal scars from an S&M ritual gone terribly wrong. When the deceased turned out to be the brother of a candidate for the office of local sheriff, a host of cover-ups, hidden agendas, old allegiances and buried secrets begins to emerge. Follow Anna as she fights for her life in this intensely suspenseful, and exquisitely written tour-de-force of modern mystery writing.
Readers familiar with Barr's entertaining national park mystery series know that Anna rarely finds tranquility in God's country. Her fans can only be grateful that there are still plenty of national parks left for Anna Pigeon to visit.
