"Gripping.BREATHTAKING.complex."- Publishers Weekly (starred review) In Nevada Barr's New York Times bestseller Destroyer Angel , Anna Pigeon, a ranger for the U.S. Park Services, sets off on a much-needed vacation: an autumn camping trip in the Iron Range in upstate Minnesota. With Anna is her friend Heath, a paraplegic; Elizabeth, Heath's fifteen-year-old daughter; Leah, a wealthy designer of outdoor equipment; and Katie, Leah's thirteen-year-old daughter. For Heath, this getaway is the ultimate test to see whether Leah's camping gear can help make wilderness adventures more accessible to the disabled.

So far, so good. "BARR IS ONE OF THE BEST!"- Boston Globe Until their second night, when Anna decides to go for a solo evening float on the Fox River. When she returns to the campsite, she is shocked to see, with her own two eyes, that a group of heavily armed thugs have abducted Heath and the others. Now, with limited resources and no access to the outside world, Anna must find a way to rescue the women from their captors-and brave the elements of the unforgiving North Woods-before it's too late. And time is running out. "Equal parts PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER and WILDERNESS-SURVIVAL tale.Top-tier white-knuckle suspense ." - Booklist.
