Northwest Angle

About the book

While on a houseboat vacation on the remote Lake of the Woods, Cork O'Connor and his daughter, Jenny, are suddenly caught in a violent gale that leaves them stranded on a devastated island. The wind brings in a force darker and deadlier than any storm they've faced. Among the wreckage, they come across an old trapper's cabin where they discover the body of a teenage girl who had been bound and tortured before her death, not by the storm.

As they explore further, they find a hidden place nearby, revealed by the fierce winds, where they find a baby boy, malnourished and dehydrated but miraculously alive. However, powerful forces are after the child, and Cork must protect his family as they flee to the isolated Northwest Angle. In this remote location, it's hard to distinguish friend from foe as they unravel the mystery surrounding the child, who seems to bring death wherever he goes.

Northwest Angle is a gripping blend of thriller and mystery that delves into the complexities of the human heart. William Kent Krueger's latest addition to the series is a compelling read that has garnered critical acclaim and awards.
