Publisher's summary

With his family caught in the crosshairs of a group of brutal killers, Detective Cork O'Connor must solve the murder of a young girl in the latest installment of William Kent Krueger's unforgettable New York Times best-selling series.

During a houseboat vacation on the remote Lake of the Woods, a violent gale sweeps through unexpectedly, stranding Cork and his daughter, Jenny, on a devastated island where the wind has ushered in a force far darker and more deadly than any storm.

Amid the wreckage, Cork and Jenny discover the body of a teenage girl. She wasn't killed by the storm, however; she'd been bound and tortured before she died. Nearby, underneath a tangle of branches, they also find a baby boy, hungry and dehydrated, but still very much alive. Powerful forces intent on securing the child pursue them to the isolated Northwest Angle, where it's impossible to tell who among the residents is in league with the devil, but Cork understands that to save his family he must solve the puzzle of this mysterious child whom death follows like a shadow.

Super creepy bad people.

As always a high quality listen. I do not want to give any spoilers. Sufficient to refer to the creepy bad people.

A rich story

This is my favorite of the Cork O’Connor Mystery series. I’m anxious to read it again. IMHO, the richest story so far.

The blend of native American culture and non-native

I love the surprising twists and turns in the plot lines and I love learning the rich heritage and beliefs of the Anishanabe!

Love happens unexpectedly and in a little surprise bundle

I thought I wouldn't like this book. I have listened to every book in order over the past 2 months. I'll now move into the next. I love the characters and felt in the end Aaron gave his everything when they named the baby I caught my breath. I think the only part of the book that becomes mundane is Rose's praying. Reminds me of the movie Steel Magnolias when that girl prays over everything and Dolly Partons character describes her perfectly! But on to the next book. I had gotten the first few books free- they were included after I got hooked they all cost money - audible got me so I bought them on Black Friday and they were affordable. I dread the book that will be Henry's journey on the path of souls.

William Kent Krueger is a favorite of mine.

I really have enjoyed his Cork O'Connor series. I have a few more in this series to listen to, but I have enjoyed quite a few already. Love the nature aspect very much.

landscape

All of Krueger's books give such detailed vivid descriptions of the landscapes of his stories. Easy reads, nothing complicated.
