Publisher Description
William Kent Krueger has won two Anthony Awards for his gripping Cork O’Connor mysteries. Set in remote areas of the Midwest, each book in the series launches the Minnesota lawman into challenges that push his endurance to new limits.
Part Irish, part Native American, Sheriff Cork O’Connor serves the remote territory of Tamarack County, Minnesota. But big trouble is brewing: a powerful man believes O’Connor killed his son. Now there’s a price on the sheriff’s head, and a bullet in his leg. He finds refuge with his cousin Jewell and her teenage son Ren in their tiny Michigan town. But when Ren and his friends are threatened, O’Connor must risk his cover to find out why.

" I liked how there was a carryover from the last book into this one. A change of scenery was good as well, but I'm getting a bit tired of Cork continually being shot or injured. How much can a man take?! "

" Good for its genre. A plot involving young teens doesn't always interest me. Cork's bum leg held him back from action and I like it when he is in action. "
