Another in Barr's series of National Park mysteries. This one is not as good as most of the others, it seems to me, but I had a character that I really liked in it: Pizza Dave. Pizza Dave can get anything for anyone any time. He's an amazing guy. (And this was in the days before eBay!)
I love this series because you not only have a great mystery, you also get to read about all the national parks (each one so very different from the others).

Anna Pigeon, park ranger, trades the beautiful mountains of West Texas and unpleasant memories for the frigid north of Lake Superior duty and a mystery involving one two many bodies. How did a fresh corpse get on the wreck of the Kamloops, a ship buried under Superior's frigid waters for decades? Anna must investigate. I did not enjoy this one as much as Tract of the Cat simply because scenery involving water and teeth chattering conditions do not appeal to me. Anna, hurry up and return to the warm west!
