Story
=====

From Publishers Weekly
In her second appearance, after Track of the Cat , National Park Service 
ranger Anna Pigeon is posted to an island in Lake Superior, where her 
interest in wildlife is fully engaged by the local population of humans. 
Two scuba-diving tourists exploring an old, submerged wreck discover 
a recent addition: the body of Denny Castle, who ran a commercial diving 
concession in the park. This makes Anna uneasy about the mysterious 
disappearance of Donna Butkus, wife of fellow ranger Scotty Butkus. 
Hawk Bradshaw, who worked with Denny, suggests that there was a link 
between Denny and Donna, but Hawk is less revealing about the nature 
of the relationship he and his twin sister had with the dead man and 
the impact Denny's recent marriage (to yet another woman) had on it. 
The Bradshaws aren't the only reticent ones here; indeed, Barr's characters 
hide enough unsavory secrets to keep a soap opera humming for months. 
Despite the wealth of personal intrigue, FBI agent Frederic Stanton 
looks for a drug connection to the murder: "I'm all for drugs . . . 
Takes the guesswork out of law enforcement." The levelheaded Anna is 
again a treat as she and a couple of minor characters whose lives don't 
verge on melodrama keep the story from floundering on the rocks.

From School Library Journal
Transferring to a ranger position at Isle Royale National Park in Michigan, 
Anna Pigeon misses the Texas sun and heat of her former park. She cringes 
at the damp, penetrating cold that accompanies the foggy, gray days 
on Lake Superior. She swaps her horse for a boat but continues to be 
surrounded by dead bodies in her second mystery. The strange corpse 
she encounters on her new job is that of a well-known diver. She finds 
it in the engine room of a ship that sank at the turn of the century 
with the five original crew still aboard. Those corpses have been preserved 
by the frigid lake waters and are a grim "tourist attraction" for scuba 
divers. As Anna seeks the identity of the killer, she is never far from 
the northern woods, characterized by their earthy scents, lingering 
midday chill, and multitude of flora and fauna. While detecting, she 
tries to sort out her feelings about life, her status as a widow, and 
her need for solitude interspersed with friendships. She is a captivating, 
daredevil detective whose adventures will delight mystery readers.
