Reviews
Montana paleoartist Ansel Phoenix is almost finished with the dinosaur paintings for a new book she is illustrating when the attempted theft of some fossil dinosaur footprints, located outside a local museum, interrupts her work. Fearful the government will remove the footprints to a faraway university for study, thereby taking away the town's chief tourist attraction, and dismayed by the wholesale destruction caused by fossil poachers, Ansel agrees to take part in an FBI investigation to catch the poachers. What was supposed to be an afternoon's work, with little danger involved, blossoms into a deadly chase across the parched, desolate Badlands. Plot twists, fast pacing, and vivid descriptions distinguish this second in the series. Ansel is a complex, likable character with a fascinating profession who blends traditions from both her Caucasian and Native American backgrounds. Readers who enjoy the natural-world backdrop in Nevada Barr's novels will relish the setting here, and those who enjoy the geology plot will appreciate Sarah Andrews' Em Hansen mysteries. Sue O'Brien
