Fan favorite Cork O'Connor is back in his hometown of
Aurora, Minnesota. He's left his badge behind and is ready
for a life of relative peace, setting up shop as a small-
town private investigator. But being back at the place
where he began comes with its own set of challenges when
Henry Meloux, the Ojibwe medicine man who is also 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 history
as he unravels the story of Meloux's 1920s adventures in
the ore-rich wilderness of Canada, where he fell in love
with a woman outside his culture and spiraled into a trap
of treachery, greed, and murder - a trap that will threaten
Cork O'Connor in this vivid and suspenseful page turner.
