It all begins here…
Nevada Barr’s The Rope details Anna’s early days as a park ranger, and the events that shaped her life. Perfect for fans of Sue Grafton and Paul Doiron.
‘A harrowing survival story, well imagined and forcefully told, about a brutal act that inspires a weak woman to become a strong one’ – Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
It’s 1995. Fresh off the bus from New York City, a broken-hearted 35-year-old named Anna Pigeon takes her first job as a park employee: a decidedly unglamorous, seasonal stint at the Glen Canyon National Recreational Area. On her day off, she goes hiking alone in the park – never to return. Her co-workers assume she’s moved on since her cabin is cleaned out. But when Anna wakes up – trapped at the bottom of a well, naked, with no supplies and no memory of how she got there – she must draw upon all of her strength, courage, and skill to survive. Because whoever set Anna’s trap isn’t through with her yet…
What readers are saying about The Rope:
‘I read [this book] in one sitting… The story has a terrific opening and the suspense continues to the end’
‘Anna Pigeon has to be one of everyone’s favourite heroines, mainly because over a long series of books she remains a constant mix of dry humour, and inner strength which while admirable and amazing, never quite gets to super human and unattainable’
‘Interesting, unusual, and exciting‘
