There’s always calm before a storm…
Burn is a captivating mystery from Nevada Barr, featuring the much-loved Anna Pigeon. Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo and Janet Evanovich.
‘Outstanding… Anna’s complex personality continues to elevate the series’ – Publishers Weekly
Anna Pigeon, a Ranger with the National Park Service, is newly married but on administrative leave from her job as she recovers from the traumas of the past couple of months. While the physical wounds have healed, the emotional ones are still healing.
With her new husband back at work, Anna decides to go and stay with an old friend from the Park Service, Geneva, who works as a singer at the New Orleans Jazz NHP. She isn’t in town long before she crosses paths with a tenant of Geneva’s, a creepy guy named Jordan. She discovers what seems to be an attempt to place a curse on her – a gruesomely killed pigeon marked with runic symbols; and begins to slowly find traces of very dark doings in the heart of post-Katrina New Orleans.
Tied up in all of this is Jordan, who is not at all what he appears to be; a fugitive mother accused of killing her husband and daughters in a fire; and faint whispers of unpleasant goings-on in the heart of the slowly recovering city…
What readers are saying about the Anna Pigeon Mysteries:
‘Hands down, the best author out there for adventure!‘
‘I was captivated by the roller coaster storytelling‘
‘The writing is exquisite, observations unique, the protagonist one of the most interesting and real around’

Praise for Nevada Barr: Outstanding... Anna's complex personality continues to elevate the series
Nevada Barr is one of the best
Barr writes with a cool steady hand about the violence of nature and the cruelty of man
Barr is a splendid storyteller
A nifty thriller... Barr's one heckuva writer... Her tales read like Patricia Cornwell exploring the great outdoors
What lifts the Anna Pigeon novels far above most other contemporary amateur sleuth mysteries is Barr's exquisite writing - it swoops, it soars, sails then catches you unawares beneath the heart and takes your breath away
Eye-popping
Vivid prose, a surprising plot... Barr solidifies her position as the preeminent writer of outdoor mysteries
Nature's combination of awesome beauty and brutal terror are strikingly portrayed in Nevada Barr's mysteries
Nail-biting
