Description



About the Book



"A few nights before Halloween, as Cork O'Connor gloomily ruminates on his upcoming sixtieth birthday, he receives a call from his son Stephen, who is working for a nonprofit dedicated to securing freedom for unjustly incarcerated inmates. Stephen tells his father that twenty years ago, as the newly elected sheriff of Tamarack County, Cork was responsible for sending an Ojibwe man named Axel Boshey to prison for a brutal murder that Stephen is certain he did not commit. Cork feels compelled to reinvestigate the crime, but that is easier said than done. Not only is it a closed case but Axel Boshey is, inexplicably, refusing to help. The deeper Cork digs, the clearer it becomes that there are those in Tamarack County who are willing once again to commit murder to keep him from finding the truth. At the same time, Cork's seven-year-old grandson has his own theory about the investigation: the Windigo, that mythic cannibal ogre, has come to Tamarack County--and it won't leave until it has sated its hunger for human blood"--



Book Synopsis



The New York Times bestselling Cork O'Connor Mystery series--a "master class in suspense and atmospheric storytelling" (The Real Book Spy)--continues with Cork O'Connor revisiting a case from his past and confronting mysterious deaths in the present.

A few nights before Halloween, as Cork O'Connor gloomily ruminates on his upcoming birthday, he receives a call from his son, Stephen, who is working for a nonprofit dedicated to securing freedom for unjustly incarcerated inmates. Stephen tells his father that decades ago, as the newly elected sheriff of Tamarack County, Cork was responsible for sending an Ojibwe man named Axel Boshey to prison for a brutal murder that Stephen is certain he did not commit.

Cork feels compelled to reinvestigate the crime, but that is easier said than done. Not only is it a closed case but Axel Boshey is, inexplicably, refusing to help. The deeper Cork digs, the clearer it becomes that there are those in Tamarack County who are willing once again to commit murder to keep him from finding the truth.

At the same time, Cork's seven-year-old grandson has his own theory about the investigation: the Windigo, that mythic cannibal ogre, has come to Tamarack County...and it won't leave until it has sated its hunger for human blood.



Review Quotes




"Apostle's Cove is a haunting, elegantly crafted mystery that blends the heartbeat of a thriller with the soul of literary fiction to create a flavor that only William Kent Krueger can seem to master. Once again, Krueger proves he's an unmatched storyteller, pulling readers deep into the windswept landscapes of northern Minnesota, where secrets linger like mist over the water. . . . A stunningly tense thriller where past and present collide and danger lurks in every shadow, Apostle's Cove is another standout in one of crime fiction's most consistently excellent series. Fans of C.J. Box should immediately take note of this one."
--The Real Book Spy

"Krueger's dialogue has the truthful quality of any small town in America. It's as if the reader just dropped into a local diner, listening in on a conversation between people who have known each other for a lifetime."
--The Epoch Times

"Riveting and reflective. . . . Krueger has created a rich community full of memorable characters, suspense, action and danger."
--BookPage (starred review)

"A top-shelf whodunit . . . this proves that Krueger is still at the top of his game."
--Publishers Weekly
