High Country

Published 2004
Number 12 in the Anna Pigeon series.
It's fall in the Sierra
Mountains, and Anna Pigeon is slinging hash in Yosemite National Park's
historic Ahwahnee Hotel. Four young people, all seasonal park employees,
have disappeared, and two weeks of work by crack search-and-rescue teams
have failed to turn up a single clue; investigators are unsure as to whether
the four went AWOL for reasons of their own - or died in the park. Needing an out-of-park ranger to work undercover, Anna is detailed to dining
room duty; but after a week of waiting tables, she knows the missing employees
are only the first indication of a sickness threatening the park.
Her
twenty-something roommates give up their party-girl ways and panic; her new
restaurant colleagues regard her with suspicion and fear. Yet when Anna's life
is threatened and her temporary supervisor turns a deaf ear, she follows the
scent of evil, taking a solo hike up a snowy trail to the high country, seeking
answers. What awaits her is a nightmare of death and greed - and perhaps her
final adventure. |
