Time is
weighing heavily on Anna while she waits out a stint of
fire detail on Cumberland Island off the coast of
Georgia, when a a plane crash in the inland thickets
calls her and her crew to duty. The flames are
quickly extinguished, but suspicions begin to smolder
over the cause of the accident... |
Endangered Species, set on Cumberland Island
National Seashore, is the fifth in the Anna Pigeon series. Cumberland
is an area where many things come together: sea and land, old wealth and new
public lands, residents and visitors. A fantastic place for the
contemplation of murder and mayhem.
"I spent sixteen days on Cumberland Island off the coast of
Georgia one hot summer on pre-suppression detail. (i.e., a bunch of us hung
around sort of hoping something would catch on fire so we could get hazard pay.
A fire did break out, but the maintenance men had the audacity to put it out
before we got there.) On the north end, where Al and I would stop our patrol to
lunch, there was a small pond with a mama and fourteen baby gators. The babies
were so cute, the unwary had taken to feeding them. When you walked to the edge
of the pond all fourteen would come swimming eagerly over to your feet. In a
few years there should be some serious PBS moments happening at this pond."
