Synopsis

Accomplished storyteller Nevada Barr captivates fans with her tightly-woven plots, vibrant descriptions, and believable characters. In this thrilling mystery, her resourceful sleuth, middle-aged park ranger Anna Pigeon, travels to northern California where she joins the forces battling an out-of-control forest fire. Ever since a fire began raging through Lassen Volcanic National Park, Anna has been acting as medic and security officer for the spike camp firefighters. As the blaze dwindles and the camp demobilizes, she stays behind with a small crew to rescue an injured man. Suddenly a thunderstorm whips the remaining embers into a deadly firestorm. After the inferno passes, Anna discovers a crew member didn't make it-but a knife, not the fire, killed him. Nevada Barr creates scenes so powerful you can almost feel the intense heat and smell the billowing smoke. Narrator Barbara Rosenblat brings out the nail-biting suspense as Anna searches for the killer within the small band of survivors.

Goodreads review by Donna Roberts on June 01, 2014

My favorite Nevada Barr book so far Fast-paced, Firestorm kept me at the edge of my seat. Couldn't put this book down until I finished it. The murderer was a complete mystery until almost the end , and the ending had a very satisfying twist.......more

Goodreads review by Susan on February 18, 2025

Didn't love this one as much as her other books, characters weren't fully developed and hard to differentiate. Still, a tantalizing mystery and I always like Anna's pragmatic way of dealing with dire situations. Lots of interesting info on what it takes to fight massive forest fires.......more
