Housed in an old stone building built in the s, the office was small, crowded by two desks, the walls lined with metal shelving and stuffed with books. Sprawled over the cluttered desktop, Oscar looked as homey and leggy as a spider in his web. Long limbs poked out the fabric of his trousers at knee and hip. Blind Descent was the first mystery I've read in the Anna Pigeon series by Nevada Barr. I had to read it-it takes place in the Carlsbad Caverns of New Mexico. It took me a little while to get used to Barr's writing style but once I got it, I found the story as gripping as a roller-coaster ride.

Award-winning author Nevada Barr fills the pages of Blind Descent with heart-stopping suspense, plots that twist around every corner, and spectacular wilderness settings. When park ranger Anna Pigeon embarks on a thrilling subterranean rescue mission, she confronts personal demons and a multitude of life-threatening dangers, not all of them from the hostile terrain. Barr's superbly unerring eye for natural setting and human conflict has made Anna's five earlier adventures (Endangered Species, , etc.) as distinctively memorable as the National Parks themselves. This installment is the most suspenseful of all, even though claustrophobes are well-advised to stock up on Prozac before turning the first page. Nevada Barr is at a high level of narrative skill in Blind Descent. The setting this time is New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns. Anna is used to working in a variety of wilderness areas as a ranger, but this book takes her away from all light and color and sense of time into the bowels of the earth.
