WINTER STUDY: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 03880008B20644
English Summary/英文概要： Anna Pigeon returns—in the remarkable new novel from the New York Times–bestselling writer.
It is January, and Park Ranger Anna Pigeon is sent to Isle Royale in Lake Superior to learn about managing and understanding wolves, as her home base of Rocky Mountain National Park might soon have their own pack of the magnificent, much-maligned animals. She’s housed in the island’s bunkhouse with the famed wolf study team, along with two scientists from Homeland Security, who are assessing the study with an eye to opening the park each winter—effectively bringing an end to the fifty-year study—so that it can be manned to secure the scrap of border with Canada.
Soon after Anna’s arrival, the wolf packs under observation begin to act in peculiar ways. Giant wolf prints are found, and Anna spies the form of a great wolf from a surveillance plane. The discovery of wolf scat containing alien DNA leads the team to believe that perhaps a wolf/dog hybrid has been introduced to the island. When a female member of the team is savaged, Anna is convinced she is being stalked, and what was once a beautiful, idyllic refuge becomes a place of unnatural occurrences and danger beyond the ordinary. Alone on an island without electricity or running water, with temperatures hovering around zero both day and night, Anna fights not only for the wolves, but for also her own survival.
Filled with the nail-biting suspense, richly drawn characters and gorgeous nature writing that are her hallmarks, Winter Study is vintage Barr, proving once again that she’s “a real writer, in every sense of the word” (The Denver Post).
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 最畅销作家携安娜．皮吉恩归来！——《纽约时报》评选出的最出色的最新小说。
这是一个寒冬的一月，帕克 瑞吉 安娜 皮吉恩被送到苏必利尔湖的皇家岛去学习如何管理和熟习狼，因为她的家乡的落基山国家公园有可能很快迎来这群凶猛，邪恶的动物。她和一个著名的狼研究小组著在岛上的工棚里，还有两个国土安全局的科学家。他们全程监督这一研究，希望每个冬天可以开放这个公园，这样就有效地结束了长达五十年的研究，那么就可以派遣人员过来，驻守这段与加拿大的过境交界处。但是，安娜来后不久，一直处于观察之中的狼群突然行为异常起来。他们发现巨型的狼抓印，安娜从侦察机上发现了巨型狼的踪迹。同时狼的粪便中检测到外星球的DNA，小组成员推测一种狼/狗的混血物种出现在岛上。当一名女同伴遭到野蛮的袭击时，安娜也感到危险正悄悄地逼近自己。曾经美好，幽静，田园般的乐园怪事不断，笼罩在异乎寻常的潜在危险之中。孤身一人在岛上，没有电，没有自来水，温度昼夜在零度左右徘徊，安娜不仅是在为狼群而战斗，更是为了自己的生存而拼搏。
跌宕起伏，扣人心弦的故事情节，丰满的人物形象，华丽的文笔是内华达 巴尔的特色。《冬日里的研究》是巴尔最具代表性的作品，再度证明她是“一位从给各方面来说名副其实的作家。”（《丹佛邮报》）
