Publisher Description

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.

"Henry Meloux is a great character in the stories, and it is nice to have him be the motivation behind this one. As a former resident of a small lakeside Minnesota town (and what town isn't lakeside there-HA!) he has nailed the description of Aurora perfectly. "

    " Loved this one - got it for Christmas and didn't expect to like it as much as I did. After reading it, I'm reluctant to start a new book just yet - it's like I'm still savoring this one. "

    " If you are a fan of the Henry Meloux character in the Cork O'Connor mystery series, this book is a must-read! A very rich story of the tangled and unexpected life of Henry Meloux', the wise Mide, from the cormorant tribe of the Ojibwe. "

    " hmmm....not my favorite in the series. I was excited to read Henry's back story, but it really failed to live up to the former books. The story was kinda dumb and very thin and see through. I was like really??? these people can't figure this out?? really? "
