About the book
The New York Times bestselling Cork O’Connor Mystery series—a ‘master class in suspense and atmospheric storytelling’ (The Real Book Spy)'''continues with Cork O’Connor revisiting a case from his past and confronting mysterious deaths in the present.
A few evenings before Halloween, Cork O'Connor is in a somber mood as he reflects on his upcoming birthday. Suddenly, he receives a call from his son, Stephen, who is working for a non-profit organization focused on securing freedom for innocent prisoners. Stephen informs Cork that decades ago, when Cork was the newly elected sheriff of Tamarack County, he had sent an Ojibwe man named Axel Boshey to prison for a brutal murder that Stephen believes Axel did not commit.
Feeling a strong sense of duty, Cork decides to reopen the investigation. However, this proves to be a daunting task as the case is closed and Axel Boshey is unwilling to cooperate for unknown reasons. As Cork delves deeper into the case, he discovers that there are individuals in Tamarack County who will go to great lengths, even committing murder, to prevent him from uncovering the truth.
Meanwhile, Cork's seven-year-old grandson has his own theory about the investigation: the Windigo, a legendary cannibal monster, has arrived in Tamarack County and will not leave until it satisfies its thirst for blood.
