Nature is close at hand – but then again, so is murder…

Ill Wind is the third novel in Nevada Barr’s gripping crime series featuring park ranger Anna Pigeon. Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo and Sue Grafton.


‘Stirring… vivid… vibrant… intelligent’ – New York Times Book Review

When national park ranger Anna Pigeon needs to find peace, she turns to nature of solace. Lucky for her, she’s been newly assigned to Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. Anna is enthralled by its ruins: the ancient cliff dwellings of a vanished Native American civilisation. But Anna’s reverie is shattered by an inexplicable illness affecting visitors to the popular landmark – and two mysterious tragedies: the death of a child… and the murder of a friend. Now she must find the very human source of the evil wind that is blowing through the ruins. For it threatens more innocent lives – including Anna’s own…

What readers are saying about the Anna Pigeon Mysteries:

‘Nevada Barr has a fabulous way of writing and her descriptions of the beautiful landscapes and natural beauty of these parks is just wonderful

Well-constructed mystery which keeps you guessing until the end’
