There is peril beneath the watchful eyes of the Lady…
Anna Pigeon leaves the wilderness behind for the bustle of New York City in Liberty Falling, the gripping mystery from bestselling author Nevada Barr. Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo and Paul Doiron.
‘Her best book yet… Plenty of action and suspense… Liberty Falling offers something for mystery fans of every stripe’ – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
When Anna Pigeon left New York City after her husband was killed, she hoped it would be forever. But now her sister Molly is clinging to life in an uptown hospital ICU, so Anna has reluctantly returned. Rooming with a friend and fellow park ranger in close quarters on Liberty Island – the small strip of land that is home to Lady Liberty – Anna spends her free time exploring the grand monument and the crumbling, overgrown, and eerie ruins in the unrestored sections of nearby Ellis Island. But the peace she seeks here is shattered when she finds herself among a crowd gathered at the Lady’s base, staring at the broken body of a teenager who fell – or was pushed – to her death.
The reason behind the young girl’s fatal plunge is not the only mystery alive on these historic sites – nor will hers be the only death. Hidden in a dangerous labyrinth of stone, glass, and steel are secrets Anna Pigeon is now compelled to uncover… and an insidious threat to herself and to others that could wreak havoc on a nation’s proudest day.
What readers are saying about Liberty Falling:
‘Nevada Barr delivers a very puzzling murder mystery that will leave you guessing up to the very end’
