What this book is about
Seasonal workers at Yosemite National Park are disappearing — a waitress, a mule packer, others. The circumstances don't trigger an obvious investigation. Anna Pigeon goes undercover as a waitress to investigate from inside the park's seasonal worker community. Nevada Barr's fourteenth Anna Pigeon novel is the most thriller-driven of the series — the undercover work creates sustained tension — and the Yosemite setting, with its contrast between the tourist experience and the working-class world of seasonal employees, is used to good effect.
