What this book is about
The eighteenth Anna Pigeon mystery: Anna is on a canoe trip in Minnesota with friends when armed men arrive and take them hostage. Anna escapes into the wilderness and must rescue her friends with nothing but her park ranger skills and the Minnesota backcountry. Barr's survival thriller uses the landscape the way all her best novels do — as a character in itself.
