Publisher Description
Intrepid hero Cork O'Connor faces the most harrowing mission of his life when a charter plane carrying his wife, Jo, goes missing in a snowstorm over the Wyoming Rockies. Months after the tragedy, two women show up on Cork's doorstep with evidence that the pilot of Jo's plane was not the man he claimed to be. It may not be definitive proof, but it's a ray of light in the darkness. Agreeing to investigate, Cork travels to Wyoming, where he battles the interference of local law enforcement who may be on the take, the open hostility of the Northern Arapaho, who have much to lose if the truth is known, and the continuing attempts on his life by assassins who shadow his every move. At the center of all the danger and deception lies the possibility that Jo's disappearance was not the end of her, that somewhere along the labyrinthine path of his search, maybe even in the broad shadow of Heaven's Keep itself, Cork will find her alive and waiting for him.

"Another Cork book that I read in merely a day. This one ROCKED, though I think some fans were probably disappointed. Now, in case it's not hidden.. there ARE spoilers ahead, so stop reading!! Okay, this book had me turning and turning the pages. Now, I accidentally read book 10 first, which spoke of his wife being dead, so I was expecting it, but then I sort of hoped that maybe it turned out she was "missing". Hmmm... I guess in a way, I like to see Cork on his own. I expect he'll be a whole lot more reckless with kids grown & no wife, etc. Thought this was an excellent, probably my 2nd favorite of the series.."

Heaven's Keep Listener Reviews

" Krueger's O'Connor series takes a trip to the west. "
— Bradley, 2/20/2014 -
" Cork O'Connor's wife disappears after a plane crash in Wyoming. Several months after the search is given up Cork realizes that the crash was not all that it seemed to be and he heads back to Wyoming to find out exactly what happened to Jo. Good mystery. "
— Vickie, 2/8/2014 -
" Though Kruegar's books are detective thrillers, I'm always comforted by the main character,Cork O'Connor and his family, and the Native American connection. I really can't even tell you why, other than I enjoy the wisdom of Henry Melioux, and the rugged beauty of Northern Minnesota depicted the descriptions. The stories keep me turning pages, but it always feels like I'm visiting with an old friend when I pick up one of this particular series to read. "
— Pat, 2/4/2014 -
" This was one of the most engaging books in the series so far. I think it's because there's a lot of intrigue and unanswered questions throughout it all that really pulled me in. I am curious about what will happen in the future. "
— Amy, 1/28/2014 -

" I like Krueger's mysteries a lot. He is a new favorite author. This novel is suspenseful and kept my interest. "
— Mary, 1/3/2014 -
" This story was still a good read, but it feels like Krueger is running out of ideas for Cork O'Connor. The story felt forced and didn't have the same emotion that others have had. I don't know that the plot for this book opens up any more opportunities either. "
— Mike, 12/18/2013 -
