Cork O’Connor fights vicious villains, both mythical and modern, to rescue a young girl in the latest nail-biting secret from NY Times bestselling writer William Kent Krueger. When your body of a teenage Ojibwe gal washes through to the shore of an island in Lake Superior, the residents from the nearby Bad Bluff reservation whisper that it had been the work of a deadly mythical beast, the Windigo, or a vengeful soul known as Michi Peshu. Such stories have been told by the Ojibwe people for about Windigo Island generations, however they don’t clarify how the young lady and her friend, Mariah Arceneaux, disappeared a year ago. At the demand from the Arceneaux family, Cork O’Connor, previous sheriff turned detective agency, takes on the case. But over the Poor Bluff reservation, nobody’s speaking. Still, Cork puts enough information jointly to discover a feasible trail. He learns the old port city of Duluth is normally a modern-day center for sex trafficking of susceptible women, a lot of whom are young Native People in america. As the analysis deepens, so does the danger. Yet Cork holds tight to his higher purpose-his vow to discover Mariah, an innocent fifteen-year-old female whose family is eager to obtain her back. With just the barest hope of saving her from men whose darkness competitors that of the legendary Windigo, Cork prepares for an epic battle that may determine whether it’ll be fear, or love, that truly conquers all.
