Sunken treasure comes at a deadly price…

Park ranger Anna Pigeon returns in Nevada Barr’s A Superior Death, a mystery that unfolds in and around Lake Superior. Perfect for fans of Sue Grafton and Janet Evanovich.


‘Nevada Barr is one of the best’ – Boston Globe

Trying to keep America’s pristine wilderness untouched is no easy job for park ranger Anna Pigeon. It’s lonely work, but her unyielding love of nature makes her well-suited for it – especially when murder mars the scene…

A self-avowed ‘desert rat’, Anna finds herself out of her element when she is reassigned to Isle Royale National Park on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Below the frigid waters lies the Kamloops, a sunken 1927 ship – the final resting place of its five victims. But when divers surface with a tale of seeing a sixth body, Anna must break the Great Lake’s grip on its icy secrets…

What readers are saying about A Superior Death:

Fantastic, brilliant, glorious

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

Five stars

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
