 "This book is a hands-down winner! Psychological terror at its best, 13 1/2 shines with authentic voices, high-amp tension, and Barr's brilliant and unique style."
— Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of Roadside Crosses

“Barr is a splendid storyteller.”
—Los Angeles Times Book Review
“The striking visceral quality of Ms. Barr’s action scenes is all the more remarkable because she writes with such a cool, steady hand about the violence of nature and the cruelty of man.”
—New York Times Book Review “Nevada Barr is one of the best.”
—Boston Sunday Globe
“… the best of both literary worlds: careful, craftsmanlike writing and thoughtful prose that meditates on both nature and human nature, backed by a plot that always moves at breakneck speed, leaving readers dizzy, emotionally wrung-out, and awestruck.”
—Denver Post
“… [Barr’s] extraordinary ability to create electrifying drama in the natural world is unequivocal.”
