AlbakiReads Editorial

A riverbank discovery and a dangerous pursuit

Set near the small Michigan town of Bodine, the story brings Sheriff Cork O’Connor into two intersecting dangers: professional hit men are pursuing him, while the discovery of a young girl’s body and the disappearance of another teenager point to killers targeting runaways. Cork is hiding at an old resort owned by his cousin Jewell DuBois, but shifts his attention to finding those responsible. The Copper River setting ties the investigation to the local landscape, while Cork’s own pursuit remains an immediate threat. The plot combines a missing-person investigation with a conspiracy and a race to prevent further harm.

Book overview

Sheriff Cork O'Connor is running for his life--straight into a murderous conspiracy involving teenage runaways in this thrilling installment of William Kent Krueger's "buy-today-read-tonight series" (Lee Child).Desperately avoiding the professional hit men who have already put a bullet in his leg, Cork finds sanctuary outside the small Michigan town of Bodine. But while he's hiding out in an old resort owned by his cousin Jewell DuBois, a bitter widow with a fourteen-year-old son named Ren, the body of a young girl surfaces along the banks of the Copper River. And then, soon after, another teenager vanishes. Instead of thwarting his assassins, Cork focuses on tracking a ring of killers who prey on innocent children--desperate to catch them before anyone else falls victim. But as his deadly followers close in, Cork realizes he's made an error any good man might make--and it may be his last.
