New York Times best-selling author Nevada Barr continues her award-winning Anna Pigeon series with this riveting mystery that features the puzzling plot twists, deft characterizations, and sparkling dialogue that have become Barr's trademarks, and which her ever-growing fan base can't get enough of.

Esta es la historia de un escritor que viaja a Nevada, Estados Unidos, entre agosto de 2007 y junio de 2008, pero es también mucho más. Es un relato en el que lo vivido, el instante real, se mezcla con recuerdos, imágenes, sueños y evocaciones. En el que el paisaje árido y hostil del desierto y el horizonte verde, rojo y fucsia de los casinos de la ciudad de Reno, con su trama de luces brillantes y acristaladas, conducen una y otra vez al narrador—y al lector—a ese otro paisaje más íntimo, más personal del País Vasco.

Anna Pigeon moves from Mississippi to Colorado to assume her new post as district ranger at Rocky Mountain National Park, where three girls have disappeared during a religious retreat. Two of the children reappear a month later, clad only in filthy underwear and claiming to remember nothing of the intervening weeks. As Anna investigates, she finds herself caught up in the machinations of a paranoid religious sect bent on protecting their secrets.
