Park ranger Anna Pigeon returns, in a mystery that unfolds in and around Lake Superior, in whose chilling depths sunken treasure comes with a deadly price. In her latest mystery, Nevada Barr sends Ranger Pigeon to a new post amid the cold, deserted, and isolated beauty of Isle Royale National Park, a remote island off the coast of Michigan known for fantastic deep-water dives of wrecked sailing vessels. Leaving behind memories of the Texas high desert and the environmental scam she helped uncover, Anna is adjusting to the cool damp of Lake Superior and the spirits and lore of the northern Midwest. But when a routine application for a diving permit reveals a grisly underwater murder, Anna finds herself 260 feet below the forbidding surface of the lake, searching for the connection between a drowned man and an age-old cargo ship. Written with a naturalist's feel for the wilderness and a keen understanding of characters who thrive in extreme conditions, A Superior Death is a passionate, atmospheric page-turner.

Concentrating on technology, economics, labor, and social history, Cradle to Grave documents the full life cycle of one of America's great mineral ranges from the 1840s to the 1960s. Lankton examines the workers' world underground, but is equally concerned with the mining communities on the surface. For the first fifty years of development, these mining communities remained remarkably harmonious, even while new, large companies obliterated traditional forms of organization and work within the industry. By 1890, however, the Lake Superior copper industry of upper Michigan started facing many challenges, including strong economic competition and a declining profit margin; growing worker dissatisfaction with both living and working conditions; and erosion of the companies' hegemony in a district they once controlled. Lankton traces technological changes within the mines and provides a thorough investigation of mine accidents and safety. He then focuses on social and labor history, dealing especially with the issue of how company paternalism exerted social control over the work force. A social history of technology, Cradle to Grave will appeal to labor, social and business historians.

Earl Parsons is a champion musher with a notorious past; he left Apostle Bay as a pariah, and his return for a sled dog race opens both old and new wounds in the community. Ex FBI agent Steve Olsen is obsessed by the one case he couldn't close, spending his retirement stalking the prime suspect and seeking redemption. Gina Holt's daughter disappeared fourteen years ago and is presumed dead. Friends can't understand why she's bent on helping the man who was responsible a second time. And someone is booby-trapping community trails, endangering tourists and snowmobilers. Only a vigilante group that police loathe may have the manpower to prevent the next attack. Reporter Vince Marshall is possibly the only one who can solve all these dilemmas, yet he's more concerned about his wife's mysterious illness than solving riddles of Apostle Bay's past. A Lake Superior winter brings with it some snow and a good dose of mayhem to this Vince Marshall thriller.
