<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Cork O'Connor disappears days before his daughter's wedding while searching for a missing grandfather.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In the extraordinary new Cork O'Connor thriller from <i>New York Times</i> bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author William Kent Krueger, the lives of hundreds of innocent people are at stake when Cork vanishes just days before his daughter's wedding.</b> <p/>Since the violent deaths of his wife, father, and best friend all occurred in previous Novembers, Cork O'Connor has always considered it to be the cruelest of months. Yet, his daughter has chosen this dismal time of year in which to marry, and Cork is understandably uneasy. <p/>His concern comes to a head when a man camping in Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness goes missing. As the official search ends with no recovery in sight, Cork is asked by the man's family to stay on the case. Although the wedding is fast approaching and the weather looks threatening, he accepts and returns to that vast wilderness. <p/>As the sky darkens and the days pass, Cork's family anxiously awaits his return. Finally certain that something has gone terribly wrong, they fly by floatplane to the lake where the missing man was last seen. Locating Cork's campsite, they find no sign of him. They do find blood, however. A lot of it. <p/>With an early winter storm on the horizon, it's a race against time as Cork's family struggles to uncover the mystery behind these disappearances. Little do they know, not only is Cork's life on the line, but so are the lives of hundreds of others.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A gripping thriller."-- "Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel"<br><br>"A mystery made up of several shiver-inducing levers . . . [with] a plot that keeps tightening around O'Connor and the granddaughter--and the reader's nerves. A first-rate addition to this series." --Booklist<br><br>"Krueger keeps the tension high."-- "Twin Cities Pioneer Press"<br><br>"A remarkable tale, even considering Krueger's already demonstrably high standards... The characters, story and plot will haunt you long after you've read the last page, but it's Krueger's strong and sure descriptive prose that lingers the longest."-- "Bookreporter"<br><br>"Explores the tension between belief and truth, between protecting a sacred place and embracing technological progress, between having empathy for a cause and taking action to defend it...Krueger has crafted a gripping thriller...steeped in the mythology of American Indian tribes of Minnesota...[a] deeply spiritual novel. Read it with your heart."-- "Minneapolis Star Tribune"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>William Kent Krueger is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>This Tender Land</i>, <i>Ordinary Grace </i>(winner of the Edgar Award for best novel), as well as nineteen acclaimed books in the Cork O'Connor mystery series, including <i>Lightning Strike</i> and <i>Desolation Mountain</i>.
