INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
William Kent Krueger offers “one of his most puzzling mysteries to date” (Publishers Weekly) as a disappearance and a dead body put Cork O’Connor’s family in the crosshairs of a killer in the twentieth book in the New York Times bestselling series.
The disappearance of a local politician’s teenage daughter is major news in Minnesota. As a huge manhunt is launched to find her, Cork O’Connor’s grandson stumbles across the shallow grave of a young Ojibwe woman—but nobody seems that interested. Nobody, that is, except Cork and the newly formed Iron Lake Ojibwe Tribal Police.
As Cork and the tribal officers dig into the circumstances of this mysterious and grim discovery, they uncover a connection to the missing teenager. And soon, it’s clear that Cork’s grandson is in danger of being the killer’s next victim in this white-knuckled mystery from “a master storyteller at the top of his game” (Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Krueger's chilling latest case for half-Irish, half-Ojibwe PI Cork O'Connor (after Fox Creek), the former Minnesota sheriff gets involved in a murder investigation after his grandson discovers a shallow grave while picking blueberries. At first, police suspect the body may be that of Olivia Hamilton, the troubled teenage daughter of a state senator, who disappeared weeks earlier. A closer look, however, reveals it to be the corpse of an unidentified Indigenous woman, which causes the FBI and local police to lose interest. The case then lands with the recently established Iron Lake Ojibwe Tribal Police, with O'Connor pitching in. As he and his new colleagues interview members of the local Ojibwe community, O'Connor comes to suspect the body is that of Crystal Two Knives, who's been missing for six months and whose case has been receiving much less public attention than Olivia's. When Olivia's body is also found, he begins to wonder if the two cases are connected. Krueger maintains an eerie tone throughout, folding subtle supernatural elements into one of his most puzzling mysteries to date. This long-running series still has plenty of gas in the tank.
