Synopsis"Gripping...BREATHTAKING...complex."- Publishers Weekly (starred review) In Nevada Barr's New York Times bestseller Destroyer Angel , Anna Pigeon, a ranger for the U.S. Park Services, sets off on a much-needed vacation: an autumn camping trip in the Iron Range in upstate Minnesota. With Anna is her friend Heath, a paraplegic; Elizabeth, Heath's fifteen-year-old daughter; Leah, a wealthy designer of outdoor equipment; and Katie, Leah's thirteen-year-old daughter. For Heath, this getaway is the ultimate test to see whether Leah's camping gear can help make wilderness adventures more accessible to the disabled. So far, so good. . . "BARR IS ONE OF THE BEST "- Boston Globe Until their second night, when Anna decides to go for a solo evening float on the Fox River. When she returns to the campsite, she is shocked to see, with her own two eyes, that a group of heavily armed thugs have abducted Heath and the others. Now, with limited resources and no access to the outside world, Anna must find a way to rescue the women from their captors-and brave the elements of the unforgiving North Woods-before it's too late. And time is running out... "Equal parts PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER and WILDERNESS-SURVIVAL tale...Top-tier white-knuckle suspense ." - Booklist, "Gripping...BREATHTAKING...complex."- Publishers Weekly (starred review) In Nevada Barr's New York Times bestseller Destroyer Angel , Anna Pigeon, a ranger for the U.S. Park Services, sets off on a much-needed vacation: an autumn camping trip in the Iron Range in upstate Minnesota.
