About the book
In the extraordinary new Cork O’Connor thriller from New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author William Kent Krueger, the lives of hundreds of innocent people are at stake when Cork vanishes just days before his daughter’s wedding.
Following the tragic deaths of his wife, father, and best friend in previous Novembers, Cork O'Connor has always viewed it as the most brutal of months. Despite this, his daughter has chosen this bleak time of year to get married, causing Cork to feel uneasy.
His worry intensifies when a man goes missing while camping in Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. When the search officially ends without any sign of the man, his family asks Cork to continue the investigation. Despite the approaching wedding and ominous weather forecast, Cork agrees and heads back into the vast wilderness.
As the days go by and the sky grows darker, Cork's family anxiously awaits his return. Realizing that something is seriously wrong, they use a floatplane to fly to the lake where the missing man was last seen. Upon reaching Cork's campsite, they discover no trace of him, but they do find a significant amount of blood.
With an early winter storm looming, Cork's family races against time to unravel the mystery of the disappearances. Unbeknownst to them, not only is Cork's life in peril, but the lives of many others are also at stake.
