Synopsis

Anna Pigeon has been a ranger with the National Park Service for many years, but she had a very different life before tragedy sent her west seeking something new. Now Nevada Barr finally tells the previously untold story of Anna’s first foray into the wild, and the case that helped shape her into the ranger she became.Thirty-five years old, fresh off the bus from New York City, and nursing a shattered heart, Anna Pigeon takes a decidedly unglamorous job as a seasonal employee of the Glen Canyon National Recreational Area. On her day off, she goes hiking into the park never to return. Her co-workers think she’s simply moved on—her cabin is cleaned out and her things gone. Anna herself wakes up, trapped at the bottom of a dry natural well, naked, without supplies and no clear memory of how she got into this situation.As she slowly pieces together her memory, it soon becomes clear that someone has trapped her there, in an inescapable prison, and that 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, strength, and will to live that she didn’t even know she still possessed in order to survive, outwit, and triumph.

Goodreads review by Harry on April 14, 2012

I must say that I'm in love with Anna Pigeon at all phases of her life. I met a tiny little red headed and freckle faced park ranger in the Tetons after she pulled me over for speeding. I called her Miss Pigeon. She was a bit miffed until I told her about the Barr novels. Then she forgave the speedi......more

Goodreads review by Judy on July 09, 2022

I read this one in two days. It is #17 in the Anna Pigeon series. I have only two more to go in this series unless she publishes another. In The Rope, Nevada Barr goes back to Anna's first job in a National Park. She fled NYC after the death of her husband and took the unglamorous job of a seasonal e......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on April 01, 2020

This is not my favorite Anna Pigeon book, but I have read far worse. The plot is basically carried by Anna being an idiot and not telling law enforcement the whole truth. The two main protagonists, Regis and Bethy, are not very believable and there is just too much time spent rock climbing. Also Bud......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on February 01, 2012

I didn’t think I’d like that this was a prequel, but I ended up really enjoying it. I liked learning about Anna’s life in NYC before she started her stints as a ranger in the national park system and learning why she decided to become a law enforcement national park ranger. The story was deliciously......more
