FIRESTORM finds Anna Pigeon working as a medic and security officer in Lassen Volcanic National Park. As a firestorm rages, Anna and a crew become trapped, and two fire fighters are found and presumed murdered. Barbara Rosenblat offers a realistic portrayal of Anna Pigeon. Reliable and entertaining as ever, Rosenblat narrates Anna's pensive deductions as she sorts out suspects. The remaining characters are well differentiated. Sleuthing, scenery and adventure collectively keep our attention. B.J.L. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine -

As she's seen in her fourth spine-tingling adventure, it's hard to tell what impassions hard-nosed park ranger Anna Pigeon more--crime or grime. Fortunately, Barr (Ill Wind) has a flair for depicting both as she sets Anna to providing first aid for the crews fighting an especially nasty forest fire, probably caused by arson, in Northern California's Lassen Volcanic National Park. As if living intimately with strangers under stressful conditions weren't trouble enough, more problems flare when Anna and her EMTs must rescue a firefighter who has broken his leg. On their way back to camp, they are trapped in a firestorm--the most dangerous of all fire conditions. Anna is saved by her silver pup tent, or "shake 'n' bake," which she pulls over herself at the last minute as the fire dances on her back. One of the other medics isn't so lucky. Only it's not just bad luck. It's murder. The tension approaches unbearable when bad weather and destroyed roads trap Anna and the rest of her crew with the murderer in their midst. While Anna, with her compassion, toughness and abundant one-liners, calls Kinsey Milhone to mind, Barr's character is a true original. And for excitement, her line of work can't be beat.
