Anna Pigeon has fled New York and her memories to find work as a ranger in the country's national parks. In the remote backcountry of West Texas, however, she discovers murder and violence. Fellow park ranger Sheila Drury is mysteriously killed, presumably by a mountain lion. But the deep claw marks Anna finds across Drury's throat and the paw prints surrounding the body are too perfect to be real.

From the back cover:
The memory of violence and loss drove Anna Pigeon from the city to seek peace in the Southwestern wilderness. Now a ranger in America's national parks, Anna is at one with nature and its serene, unspoiled majesty. But the brutal death of a fellow ranger in the remote West Texas backcountry—presumably by mountain lion attack—looks suspiciously like murder to Anna. And her unauthorized investigation into the tragedy is placing her squarely in harm's way. For a trail with few leads winds through dangerous territory—where Anna must confront the dark side of the desert...and the human heart.

Hey, my first book of 2009! I enjoyed this short 'n sweet little mystery. I'll definitely put the 2nd in the series on my wishlist. Anna is a gutsy character, and I like her passion for the environment and for conservation—oh, and she's tough in hand-to-hand combat, too!

Thanks again for sharing, Tribefan. This one is now available for another reader.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Now the book is on it's way.

I want to thank you so very much for putting me last in this bookray. I was getting really worried that it was a ring, and I am very behind in my ring/rays and doing everything in my power to catch up. When I saw this was a ray, I felt relief like you can't believe. Thanks for your generosity and kindness:) I will read this book when I get some extra time. Right now it would be too crazy to try and read anything other than a ring/ray book that needs to move on. Thanks again:)
