Description

When a string of disappearances rocks Yosemite National Park, Anna Pigeon—an experienced ranger with a talent for blending in—goes undercover to find four missing employees whose lives seem to have little in common. As she follows shifting clues through the park’s rugged back country, she uncovers a chilling pattern tied to greed, exploitation, and the dangerous lengths people will go to protect what they’ve taken. Barr’s crisp, atmospheric storytelling turns the wilderness into both a refuge and a threat, grounding the suspense in the realities of park work and survival. With its focus on moral choices and the hidden costs of power, this is a tense, character-driven mystery that keeps the stakes high until the final revelation.
