What this book is about
National Park Ranger Anna Pigeon joins a bear DNA research team in Glacier National Park — scientists setting traps to collect bear hair for population studies — and a body is found in a remote location that only a bear would be expected to find. The question of how the body got there is as puzzling as the question of why. Nevada Barr's eleventh Anna Pigeon novel is the most focused on wildlife science and the specific texture of bear country — a landscape where the normal assumptions about who has the power are inverted — and the research context gives the investigation an unusual scientific focus.
