Book Description:
There is peril beneath the watchful eyes of the Lady...
When Anna Pigeon left New York City after her husband was killed, she hoped it would be forever. But now her sister Molly is clinging to life in an uptown hospital ICU, so Anna has reluctantly returned. Rooming with a friend and fellow park ranger in close quarters on Liberty Island---the small strip of land that is home to Lady Liberty---Anna spends her free time exploring the grand monument and the crumbling, overgrown, and eerie ruins in the unrestored sections of nearby Ellis Island. But the peace she seeks here is shattered when she finds herself among a crowd gathered at the Lady's base, staring at the broken body of a teenager who fell---or was pushed---to her death.
The reason behind the youthful girl's fatal plunge is not the only mystery alive on these historic sites---nor will hers be the only death. Hidden in a dangerous labyrinth of stone, glass, and steel are secrets Anna Pigeon is now compelled to uncover...and an insidious threat to herself and to others that could wreak havoc on a nation's proudest day.

Gritty series about U.S. Forest Service/Park Ranger Anna Pigeon.
Please Rate these Book Reviews
Cathy S. (Great book. Interesting and kept me guessing until the end.
Lois S. (I LOVE Barr's characters & the way she helps us visualize the National Parks!!!
Nevada Barr writes very well; her character Anna Pigeon is likeable and interesting. She's a National Park Ranger & the various books are set all over the US. This one is in NYC on Ellis Island & Liberty Island (where the Statue of Liberty is.)
This book is a triumph. The setting is so fascinating, the bits of history that go along with it, the thrum of present day Manhattan counterposed against the history of Ellis Island. Mysteries old and new...will definitely entertain.
