THE ROPE: AN ANNA PIGEON NOVEL

Book ID/图书代码： 03880011B48770

English Summary/英文概要： Anna Pigeon’s first case—this is the story her fans have been clamoring for...this is where it all starts.

In The Rope, the latest in Nevada Barr’s bestselling novels featuring Anna Pigeon, Nevada Barr gathers together the many strings of Anna’s past and finally reveals the story that her many fans have been long asking for. In 1995 and 35 years old, fresh off the bus from New York City and nursing a broken heart, Anna Pigeon takes a decidedly unglamorous job as a seasonal employee of the Glen Canyon National Recreational Area. On her day off, Anna goes hiking into the park never to return. Her co-workers think she’s simply moved on—her cabin is cleaned out and her things gone. But Anna herself wakes up, trapped at the bottom of a dry natural well, naked, without supplies and no clear memory of how she found herself in this situation.

As she slowly pieces together her memory, it soon becomes clear that someone has trapped her there, in an inescapable prison, and no one knows that she is even missing. Plunged into a landscape and a plot she is unfit and untrained to handle, Anna Pigeon must muster the courage, determination and will to live that she didn’t even know she still possessed to survive, outwit and triumph.

For those legions of readers who have been entranced over the years by Park Ranger Anna Pigeon’s strength and determination and those who are new to Nevada Barr’s captivating, compelling novels, this is where it all starts.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是Nevada Barr的忠实读者们期待已久的故事，Anna Pigeon遇到的第一个案件，也是所有故事的起源。

《绳索》是Nevada Barr畅销小说系列最新的一部，以Anna Pigeon为主角，在本部作品中，Nevada Barr交待了一些Anna Pigeon的过去，也揭示了读者们期待已久的小说线索。1995年，Anna Pigeon35岁，刚从纽约城搬来，内心失意。Anna在格兰峡谷国家休闲区担任一名季节工，生活十分平淡无奇。有一天她休假，便去公园远足，从此没有回来。她的同事以为她可能搬走了，因为她的小屋收拾得很干净而且空空如也。但是Anna醒过来，发现自己赤身裸体，被困在一个枯井的井底。她没有爬出去的工具，也不知道自己是如何陷入这般境地的。

当她慢慢回想起来事情的经过后，她清楚地明白是有人故意把她困在这个无法逃脱的陷阱里的，而且甚至没有人知道她失踪了。事到如今，Anna只有拿出她所有的勇气和决心才能活下来，逃出去。

很多读者已经追随公园护林员Anna的故事很多年，且被她的力量和决心深深吸引，而对于刚刚发现Nevada Barr小说魅力的读者来说，这本就是一个很好的开始。(兼职翻译-XAT)

Awards/获奖情况：

About the Author/作者介绍： 作者Nevada Barr的生活就如同她笔下的人物Anna Pigeon一般曲折离奇。
Nevada Barr，59岁，辞去了演员和配音演员的工作，选择去美国公园服务处担任公园护林员。在她8年的护林员工作经历中，她去过密西西比州的纳齐兹公路，德克萨斯州的瓜达卢佩山和梅萨维德。
她的这段经历对于Anna Pigeon系列小说的创作很有帮助。小说中的女英雄也是从一个公园到另一个公园担任护林员，系列中的每一本小说都换一个场景。并不像玛佩尔小姐或者是神探南希，Anna Pigeon有自己独特的性格。
Nevada Barr于本周四晚上7点半会出现在乐都，当她在新奥尔良的家中时，我们赶上与作者做了电话访谈。

Author Nevada Barr has lived a life with almost as many plot twists as her best-selling Anna Pigeon mystery novels.
Barr, 59, left a career as an actress and voice-over specialist to work as a ranger in the United States Park Service. Postings during her eight-year career included the Natchez Trace in Mississippi, the Guadalupe Mountains in Texas and Colorado’s own Mesa Verde.
The Anna Pigeon novels draw on those experiences. The heroine is a ranger who moves from park to park, a different one in each novel. Neither backcountry Miss Marple nor Vibram-soled Nancy Drew, Pigeon is very much her own character.
"The Rope," 17th in the series and set in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, hits stores Tuesday.
Barr is slated to appear at the Tattered Cover in LoDo at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. We caught up with the author in a phone call to her New Orleans home.
