Nevada Barr’s New York Times best-selling Anna Pigeon mysteries continue to break new ground in the genre. This time the roving park ranger and amateur detective investigates a case on Isle Royale. Amidst its barren landscape, a group of researchers observe a group of ravenous wolves. But a killer is on the loose as well, and only Anna can halt his murderous designs.

About the Author: Former actress and park ranger Nevada Barr freely acknowledges the similarities between herself and Anna Pigeon, the heroine of Nevada's award-winning, best selling novels like Blind Descent, Firestorm, Deep South, and Blood Lure. But the author is also careful to distinguish herself from the character. "She started out being based on myself," Nevada says. "But of course she was taller, stronger, smarter-you know, better looking. And over the years she has kind of just evolved into her own person." The depth and evolution of Anna as a character is one of the main delights of the series for both fans and reviewers, leading to Nevada's steady climb up the nation's best-seller lists. After the sudden death of her actor husband, Anna Pigeon left the bustle of life in New York City to work as a law enforcement agent for the National Park Service in Track of the Cat, which won both the Agatha Award and Anthony Award as best first mystery novel.

About the Performer: Barbara Rosenblat is one of the most popular and sought-after narrators of unabridged audio books in the country. Her deft handling of an amazing variety of dialects and characterizations continues to delight listeners and reviewers alike. The industry watchdog publication Audiofile says, “Rosenblat makes all the personalities as distinct as the sexual identities. Her equanimity encourages enjoyment of the characters, flaws and all.”

Ms. Rosenblat’s career spans two continents. She spent many years in England working in West End Theatre, television, film and BBC radio. Her return to the United States marked the start of her alliance with Recorded Books. Her body of work ranges from classics to romance and popular fiction.

Ms. Rosenblat has put her unique stamp on several popular series for Recorded Books. Among these are the Mrs. Pollifax books by Dorothy Gillman and the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters. Ms. Peters is a tremendous fan of Ms. Rosenblat’s audio performances and strives to create new vocal challenges for her in each book. But Barbara Rosenblat is always up to the challenge. One listener to write that she simply could not believe that only one narrator could create so many distinct voices. The superb quality of her narrations has earned her nine of Audiofile’s prestigious Golden Earphone awards for excellence in audio performances.

In addition to narrating for Recorded Books, Ms. Rosenblat spent nearly two years on Broadway, where she created the role of Mrs. Medlock in the Tony award winning musical The Secret Garden. The recording industry publication Billboard magazine has said, “Among devoted audiobook fans, Recorded Books reader Barbara Rosenblat is spoken of with the same affection and reverence that the music industry reserves for Frank Sinatra and the Beatles.”
