About the book
The latest in the New York Times bestselling Cork O'Connor mystery series - the action never stops when the private detective ends up in the crosshairs of a political assassin.
Set in Trickster's Point, the indestructible Cork O'Connor finds himself near the towering monolith known as Trickster's Point in the heart of the Minnesota wilderness. Sitting beside him is Jubal Little, the first Native American governor-elect, who is slowly succumbing to a fatal arrow wound. While the men were bow hunting, the arrow in the governor's heart was no accident - it belongs to Cork.
Despite being the main suspect in Jubal's murder, Cork knows he has been framed. Determined to clear his name and find the true killer, Cork reflects on his complex history with Jubal, the young Native American who dreamed of political success and evolved into a cunning individual capable of betrayal and murder. As Cork delves into his past, he confronts the various motivations, both noble and malevolent, that drive individuals into the challenging and sometimes lethal world of politics.
With his trademark crisp writing and unexpected twists, Krueger once again delivers a gripping suspense novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
