Anna Pigeon, the intrepid National Park Service ranger in Nevada Barr's superb wilderness mysteries, has had some perilous experiences in the five novels that preceded Blind Descent, but none compares with this thrilling subterranean adventure in the underground caverns of Lechuguilla, 'a monster man-eating cave' in New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns.

At the end of the dangerous descent, she reaches her friend and hears her say, 'It wasn't an accident. 455373 book 1998 Blind Descent (Anna Pigeon Mysteries, #6) total:858|5:228|4:371|3:234|2:24|1:1| 858 3375 1046 85 3 0 false false Sat Aug 22 09:49:19 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 09:52:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 09 05:25:30 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 01 08:11:56 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 12 10:51:45 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 19 08:26:52 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 31 04:45:40 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 12 04:45:13 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Tue Jul 07 17:48:35 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 17:58:13 -0700 2009
