false 2039223 8 It is January, and Park Ranger Anna Pigeon is sent to Isle Royale in Lake Superior to learn about managing and understanding wolves, as her home base of Rocky Mountain National Park might soon have its own pack of the magnificent, much-maligned animals. She's lodging in the island's bunkhouse with the famed wolf study team, along with two scientists from Homeland Security, who are assessing the study with an eye to opening the park in the winters--an act that would effectively bring an end to the fifty-year project--so that the area can be manned to secure the scrap of border with Canada. Soom after Anna's arrival, the wolf packs under observation begin to behave in peculiar ways. Giant wolf prints are found, and Anna spies the form of a great wolf from a surveillance plane. The discovery of wolf scat containing alien DNA leads the group to believe that perhaps a wolf/dog hybrid has been introduced to the island. When a female member of the team is savaged, Anna is convinced she is being stalked, and what was once a beautiful, idyllic refuge becomes a place of unnatural occurrences and danger beyond the ordinary. Alone on an island without electricity or running water, with temperatures hovering around zero both day and night, Anna fights not only for the wolves but for her own survival as well. 2044086 book 1 4 2008 Winter Study (Anna Pigeon Mysteries #14) total:842|5:130|4:352|3:272|2:62|1:27| 842 3022 1125 268 2 1 false false Tue Dec 30 19:09:27 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 19:15:43 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue May 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 12 11:40:24 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 14:34:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 22 14:40:01 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 10:54:47 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false true Sat Jun 07 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 02 08:06:28 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 17:50:11 -0700 2008
