New York Situations bestselling author William Kent Krueger delivers another ‘punch-to-the-gut mixture of detective story and investigative fiction’ (Booklist, starred review) as Cork O’Connor and his boy Stephen work together to uncover the reality behind the tragic aircraft crash of the senator on Desolation Hill and the mystical disappearances of several first responders. This is a heart-pounding and devastating mystery the scope and consequences which proceed significantly beyond what dad or son could about Desolation Mountain ever possess imagined. A couple of more things in heaven and globe, Horatio, than are dreamt of inside your philosophy. To Stephen O’Connor, Hamlet’s dour observation is more than just words. All his lifestyle, he has had visions of tragedies to come. When he encounters the vision of a great bird shot through the sky, he understands something terrible is going to happen. The crash of a private plane on Desolation Hill in a remote part of the Iron Lake Reservation, which kills a United States senator and most of her family members, confirms Stephen’s worst concerns. Stephen joins his father, Cork O’Connor and some Ojibwe men from your close by Iron Lake reservation to sift through the smoldering wreckage when the FBI happens and quickly assumes control of the problem. What seems like the end of the O’Connors’ participation is, however, only the start of a harrowing trip to understand the reality behind the Senator’s death. As he initiates his personal probe, Cork O’Connor stumbles upon a familiar face in Bo Thorson, a private security expert whose unnamed clients have hired him to look quietly into the cause of the crash. The men agree to join forces in their analysis, but quickly Cork begins to question if Thorson’s loyalties lay elsewhere. In that considerably north Minnesota Region, which is definitely overrun with providers from the FBI, NTSB, DoD, and even members of the rightwing militia, most of whom possess their personal agendas, Cork, Stephen, and Bo try to navigate a perilous training course. Roadblocked by lies from the best levels of authorities, uncertain who to trust, and facing growing threats the deeper they dig for answers, the three men finally recognize that to access the truth, they will have to manage the fantastic menace, a beast of true bad lurking in the woods-a beast with a murderous objective of unimaginable range.
