About the book
When the Atomic Energy Commission includes the Vermilion One Mine on its list of potential nuclear waste storage sites, there is a wave of protest in Tamarack County, Minnesota. Cork O'Connor is appointed to lead security in response to the outcry.
On his first day on duty, Cork discovers a hidden room containing the remains of six murder victims. Five of them seem to be from nearly fifty years ago, linked to the mysterious disappearances known as 'The Vanishings' in 1964, when Cork's father was the sheriff. The sixth victim has died within the past week. To make matters worse, two of the bodies, including the most recent one, were killed with Cork's own gun, a family heirloom passed down from his father.
As Cork delves into the case, he must delve into the shadowy corners of his family's history. New dangers arise, and unless Cork can untangle the web of clues quickly, more tragedy will befall Tamarack County.
