View all Anna Pigeon books

Nevada Barr is a former National Park Ranger who draws on her experience to create the Anna Pigeon series. Unlike most detective series set in cities, Barr’s mysteries occur in National Parks, from the heat of Guadalupe Mountains to the cold of Isle Royale. She worked summers as a ranger during her early career before becoming a full-time writer.

Each Anna Pigeon book explores a different National Park. Barr doesn’t just use parks as backdrops - she examines environmental issues, conservation conflicts, and the unique challenges facing park rangers working in isolation. The crimes committed reveal human drama against the backdrop of wilderness landscapes Barr knows intimately.
