Reviews"Nevada Barr writes with a cool steady hand about the violence of nature and the cruelty of man." - The New York Times Book Review "From the fabric of fiction she creates real worlds, sometimes beautiful, sometimes terrifying, but always convincing." - San Diego Union-Tribune on Endangered Species "Nevada Barr is high on the list of top American mystery writers, and Hard Truth is Barr at her best...a gripping plot that promises to keep readers up late..." - Rocky Mountain News "Barr's Anna Pigeon series is the best of both literary worlds: careful, craftsmanlike writing and thoughtful prose that meditates on both nature and human nature, backed by a plot that always moves at breakneck speed, leaving readers dizzy, emotionally wrung-out and awestruck." - The Denver Post on Borderline "Plausible, suspenseful, and, in the end, unexpected. The eminently likeable Anna Pigeon is a sassy, smart woman who will pilot you through a satisfying adventure." - Minneapolis Star-Tribune on Winter Study "Nevada Barr is one of the best." - The Boston Globe

SynopsisAnna Pigeon's first case'e"this is the story her fans have been clamoring for...this is where it all starts. In The Rope, the latest in Nevada Barr's bestselling novels featuring Anna Pigeon, Nevada Barr gathers together the many strings of Anna's past and finally reveals the story that her many fans have been long asking for. In 1995 and 35 years old, fresh off the bus from New York City and nursing a broken heart, Anna Pigeon takes a decidedly unglamorous job as a seasonal employee of the Glen Canyon National Recreational Area. On her day off, Anna goes hiking into the park never to return. Her co-workers think she's simply moved on'e"her cabin is cleaned out and her things gone. But Anna herself wakes up, trapped at the bottom of a dry natural well, naked, without supplies and no clear memory of how she found herself in this situation. As she slowly pieces together her memory, it soon becomes clear that someone has trapped her there, in an inescapable prison, and no one knows that she is even missing. Plunged into a landscape and a plot she is unfit and untrained to handle, Anna Pigeon must muster the courage, determination and will to live that she didn't even know she still possessed to survive, outwit and triumph. For those legions of readers who have been entranced over the years by Park Ranger Anna Pigeon's strength and determination and those who are new to Nevada Barr's captivating, compelling novels, this is where it all starts., Anna Pigeon's first case this is the story her fans have been clamoring for...this is where it all starts.In The Rope, the latest in Nevada Barr's bestselling novels featuring Anna Pigeon, Nevada Barr gathers together the many strings of Anna's past and finally reveals the story that her many fans have been long asking for.

  • Best book of the Anna Pigeon series

    I do not generally like or read many female writers but Nevada Barr is an exception. The first book I read was High Country and I really enjoyed it. Barr is a great descriptive writer and writes a great mystery book also. The Rope was a book I couldn’t put down. Since those two books I have read all of the Anna Pigeon series. Always a memorable read. I highly recommend.
