The New York Times bestselling Cork O’Connor Mystery Series returns with this ‘genuinely thrilling and atmospheric novel’ (TheNew York Times Book Review) as Cork races against time to save his wife, a mysterious stranger, and an Ojibwe healer from bloodthirsty mercenaries.
The revered Ojibwe healer Henry Meloux has foreseen his own death. While wandering the Northwoods alone, he tries to come to terms with his impending demise in peace. However, tranquility proves elusive as hunters scour the forest in search of Dolores Morriseau, a stranger who sought refuge and guidance from the healer.
Meloux leads this stranger and his great niece, the wife of Cork O'Connor, to safety deep within the Boundary Waters, where he has resided for over a hundred years. On what could be his final journey through this cherished land, Meloux must outsmart the ruthless mercenaries on their trail.
Meanwhile, in Aurora, Cork races to uncover the identity of the hunters and the motive behind their relentless pursuit, but he is lacking crucial information. Determined, Cork sets out to track down the killers, yet his hunting skills are put to the ultimate test as night falls and a late snowstorm hits. As the hours slip away, Cork realizes time is of the essence. However, his greatest adversary in this dangerous game may be his own doubt about his ability to protect his loved ones.
New and longtime followers alike will be captivated by this gripping and intricately woven addition to the acclaimed series, as praised by Publishers Weekly in a starred review.
