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 bestselling
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 an old trapper’s
cabin where they find the body of a teenage girl. She wasn’t
killed by the storm, however; she’d been bound and tortured
before she died. Whimpering sounds coming from outside the
cabin lead them to a tangle of branches toppled by the
vicious winds. Underneath the debris, they 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. Cork
understands that to save his family he must solve the puzzle
of this mysterious child whom death follows like a shadow.
