Publisher's summary

With his family caught in the crosshairs of a group of brutal killers, Detective Cork O'Connor must solve the murder of a young girl in the latest installment of William Kent Krueger's unforgettable New York Times best-selling series.

During a houseboat vacation on the remote Lake of the Woods, a violent gale sweeps through unexpectedly, stranding Cork and his daughter, Jenny, on a devastated island where the wind has ushered in a force far darker and more deadly than any storm.

Amid the wreckage, Cork and Jenny discover the body of a teenage girl. She wasn't killed by the storm, however; she'd been bound and tortured before she died. Nearby, underneath a tangle of branches, they also find a baby boy, hungry and dehydrated, but still very much alive. Powerful forces intent on securing the child pursue them to the isolated Northwest Angle, where it's impossible to tell who among the residents is in league with the devil, but Cork understands that to save his family he must solve the puzzle of this mysterious child whom death follows like a shadow.

Super creepy bad people.

As always a high quality listen. I do not want to give any spoilers. Sufficient to refer to the creepy bad people.

Wholesome contemporary wild story

This is the 11th book in Cork O’Connor series. So I already love all the characters. There is a new character introduced in this book that will make me want to read or listen to the next one. David Chandler is an amazing voice actor and I can listen to him for hours. Looking forward to the next audio book.

The blend of native American culture and non-native

I love the surprising twists and turns in the plot lines and I love learning the rich heritage and beliefs of the Anishanabe!
