ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Anna North is the author of America Pacifica, The Life and Death of Sophie Stark, and the instant New York Times bestseller and Reese's Book Club pick Outlawed. She is a senior correspondent at Vox and lives in Brooklyn. You can read more about Anna here.

ABOUT THE BOOK

From the New York Times bestselling author of Outlawed, a forensic anthropologist confronts a strangely well-preserved Iron Age body in Bog Queen, a National Bestseller.

When a body is found in a bog in northwest England, Agnes, an American forensic anthropologist, is called to investigate. But this body is not like any she’s ever seen. Though its bones prove it was buried more than two thousand years ago, it is almost completely preserved.

Soon Agnes is drawn into a mystery from the distant past, called to understand and avenge the death of an Iron Age woman more like her than she knows. Along the way, she must contend with peat-cutters who want to profit from the bog and activists who demand that the land be left undisturbed. Then there’s the moss itself: a repository of artifacts, with its own dark stories to tell.

Flashing between post-Brexit England and the druidic order of Celtic Europe, Bog Queen brims with ancient wisdom as it connects across time two gifted, farsighted young women learning to harness their strengths in a landscape more mysterious than either can imagine.
