Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. In William Kent Krueger's "finest work" (Michael Connelly), detective Cork O'Connor unravels a mystery for his old friend Henry Meloux, only to get caught in the blistering crossfire of jealousy and revenge. The promise, as I remember it, happened this way. Happy and content in his hometown of Aurora, Minnesota, Cork O'Connor has left his badge behind and is ready for a life of relative peace, setting up shop as a private investigator. But his newfound state of calm is soon interrupted when Henry Meloux, an Ojibwe medicine man and Cork's spiritual adviser, makes a request: Will Cork find the son that Henry fathered long ago? With little to go on, Cork uses his investigative skills to locate Henry Wellington, a wealthy and reclusive industrialist living in Thunder Bay, Ontario. When a murder attempt is made on old Meloux's life, all clues point north across the border. But why would Wellington want his father dead? This question takes Cork on a journey through time as he unravels the story of Meloux's 1920s adventure in the ore-rich wilderness of Canada, where his love for a beautiful woman, far outside his culture, led him into a trap of treachery, greed, and murder. The past and present collide along the rocky shores of Thunder Bay, where a father's unconditional love is tested by a son's deeply felt resentment, and where jealousy and revenge remain the code among men. As Cork hastens to uncover the truth and save his friend, he soon discovers that his own life is in danger and is reminded that the promises we keep-even for the best of friends-can sometimes place us in the hands of our worst enemies.… (mehr)

Book number 7 in the Cork O'Connor world--I think it's the best one so far. It deals with the backstory on Henry Meloux with a large dose of O'Connor family thrown in. It's exciting, the characters are good and believable. Excellent, satisfying series. ( )

This is book number 7 in the Cork O'Connor series, and I think it's the best one so far in this fabulous series. In it we get an up close and personal look at one of the most fascinating characters in this series--a ninety-something year old Ojibwa man by the name of Henry Meloux. I am sure that I am not the only one who is a fan of Henry Meloux in the Cork O'Connor books. He is Cork's spiritual advisor, and a man who has visions of events that will be occurring sometime in the future. This is the book where we learn of Henry's earlier life, and about the love that he lost when he was only a young man of about 19. The book also takes us to a part of the world that I am familiar with. Most of the Cork O'Connor books are set in and around Minnesota, but this one takes us to Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Cork travels there with Henry and his old mentor, former Sheriff, recently widowed, Wally Buono on a search for Henry's son who is about 70 years old himself. Henry insists that he knows his son is in trouble even though he has never met him, and he must find him. The three put themselves at much risk to try to track down the elusive industrialist. The combination of Henry Meloux's decades old love story, along with the present-day occurrences meld this book into a sprawling story about the importance of love and the destructiveness of hate. It also further fills out Cork's own character, and his own personal life, which plays a fairly prominent role in this book. This is a series that keeps on giving me pleasure and I cannot wait to continue the story. ( )

Writing reviews for books by William Kent Krueger is getting boring. I'm tempted to automate it by rating them 5 stars and writing "great book". Not because I'm lazy, but because it's not easy for me to verbalize why I like his writing so much. The stories are good, but not really outstanding. I guess the real draw are the characters. There are so many I'd like to meet, and to be friends with. Even if I had to live in Minnesota to do so, although this one was mostly in Canada, which isn't that different in a lot of ways. The books make me see that people are what makes life interesting, not good cell phone coverage and fast internet. Those things are just poor substitutes.

If you are a fan, you know this already. Also, if you are a fan, you will want to read this one, because it tells a lot about one of the more interesting recurring characters, Henry Meloux. He had quite an interesting and unusual life. That life is the subject of this book, and Henry is the main character.

There's also a bit of drama in Cork's family life, but that's just a side issue - so far, at least.

I was tempted to continue on to the next book in the series, but I decided to slow down so I'd have something to look forward to as I get near the end of available books in the series.
