Throughout Nevada Barr’s best-selling series, park ranger Anna Pigeon has crossed America facing down the vicious predators, animal and human, that haunt the country’s wild places. The shocking origins of Anna’s fearsome resilience come to light in THE ROPE, a stunning look back at the circumstances that forged one of the most remarkable protagonists in modern crime fiction.
THE ROPE opens in Utah’s Glen Canyon in 1995—at the bottom of a dry natural well, where newly-minted park worker Anna, recovering from a traumatic loss in New York City, wakes up with no memory of how she got there. Someone, it soon becomes clear, trapped her in the hole, and someone is playing terrible games with her. If Anna’s going to survive, she’ll need to find skills and courage that she never knew she had. Because even if she can escape, still more danger is hiding in the arid landscape of the park.
A novelist, actor, and painter, New York Times best-selling author Nevada Barr has put her own experience as a National Park Service Ranger to repeated good use. She Lives with her husband in New Orleans, where she can sometime be found at Octavia Books.
