Anna is on fire watch (a temporary assignment) at the Cumberland Island National Seashore when a plane goes down. It isn't long until foul play is suspected. In the mean time, Anna's sister, a psychiatrist in New York City, is receiving threats. Anna sends her boyfriend FBI agent Frederick Stanton to investigate. I have read several books in which loggerhead turtles have played a part in the story, and I'm always amazed at the work the volunteers do to help the species survive. I enjoyed the national park setting more than the mystery itself in this one. There are a few amusing scenes as well. It wasn't a bad installment, but it wasn't my favorite either. ( )

I love the Anna Pigeon books which are all set in national parks. This one is older and somehow I missed reading it. ( )

Book description
Back cover:

Marooned on Cumberland Island National Seashore off the coast of Georgia, Anna Pigeon waits out a twenty-one-day assignment on fire detail. When the sudden crash of a drug-prevention plane calls her and the other members of the fire crew to action, the flames are quickly extinguished. But suspicions smoulder over the cause of the accident, which killed both the pilot and his passenger, Cumberland's law-enforcement ranger Todd Belfore.

As the humidity levels rise so too do the tensions on the island, and Anna and her crew find themselves pressed into service. Her inquiry causes her to stumble upon shady dealings that question the integrity -- and honour -- of her own crew, and leave her face-to-face with tht price that must be paid to protect the treasures of the island...

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0380725835, Mass Market Paperback)

As her legions of loyal readers know, Nevada Barr is not a stripper nor a Las Vegas lawyer; she's a former actress and National Park Service ranger who writes excellent mysteries set in the wilderness. Her alter ego, ranger Anna Pigeon, is once again called upon to be mentally and physically astute--this time on Cumberland Island, off the Georgia coast, where the ghosts of the millionaires who used to live there are being added to by a determined killer. As usual, Barr is best at creating believable scenes of action in a setting that is beautifully detailed but never romanticized. Past Barr books in paperback: Firestorm, Ill Wind, A Superior Death, Track of the Cat.
