Publisher's summary

In William Kent Krueger's "finest work" (Michael Connelly), detective Cork O'Connor unravels a mystery for his old friend, Henry Meloux, only to get caught in the blistering crossfire of jealousy and revenge.

The promise, as I remember it, happened this way.

Happy and content in his hometown of Aurora, Minnesota, Cork O'Connor has left his badge behind and is ready for a life of relative peace, setting up shop as a private investigator. But his newfound state of calm is soon interrupted when Henry Meloux, an Ojibwe medicine man and Cork's spiritual adviser, makes a request: Will Cork find the son that Henry fathered long ago?

With little to go on, Cork uses his investigative skills to locate Henry Wellington, a wealthy and reclusive industrialist living in Thunder Bay, Ontario. When a murder attempt is made on old Meloux's life, all clues point north across the border. But why would Wellington want his father dead? This question takes Cork on a journey through time as he unravels the story of Meloux's 1920s adventure in the ore-rich wilderness of Canada, where his love for a beautiful woman, far outside his culture, led him into a trap of treachery, greed, and murder.

The past and present collide along the rocky shores of Thunder Bay, where a father's unconditional love is tested by a son's deeply felt resentment, and where jealousy and revenge remain the code among men. As Cork hastens to uncover the truth and save his friend, he soon discovers that his own life is in danger and is reminded that the promises we keep - even for the best of friends - can sometimes place us in the hands of our worst enemies.

Wonderful Story

I could not stop listening to this wonderful story. Going back to Audible to get another today.

AWESOME READ

This was the best book in the series by far, in my opinion, and I am reading them in order. I also thoroughly enjoy the narration of David Chandler. The voices match the characters, which is so important when listening to a book, am I right? Anyway, it’s a great listen or read.

good read

I felt it started off very slow but I was very involved in the whole story. I was sad to see it and but gladly outcome had been good for the main character at least goodread

Good

Very good story, Happy i took the time! BUT left me wanting to know more. Will imI have to read the next?

Loved this story

Great listen good characters. Recommend this work for anyone that likes a mystery. Wished it was longer.

Gun control, anti abortion, and Incorrect facts...

I feel like everyone is Entitled to their opinion.But if you back your opinion with facts,I feel like they should be real. This book is about Gun control,anti abortion, and a few other hot button topics. Although all the facts are made up. So if you like Political preaching throughout your book, this is the 1 for you.

So far excellent series

Krueger tells intricate woven storylines. His characters are very human and real. Another great listen.

Great story

Books 1,2 and 7 are good entertainment. These were included and I really enjoyed them

Another good story in the series

I was worried at the start of the story bu the change to first person narration, but as the story unfolded and takes we’re told it flowed nicely.

It doesn’t get any better than this!

This is the perfect combination of a master storyteller and a voice that can bring characters to life.
There is also much to process in this terrific story .
