The Quetico-Superior Wilderness: more than two million acres of forest, white-water rapids, and uncharted islands on the Canadian/American border. Somewhere in the heart of this unforgiving territory, a young woman named Shiloh — a country-western singer at the height of her fame — has disappeared.

As the expedition ventures deeper into the wilderness, strangers descend on Aurora, threatening to spill blood on the town’s snowy streets. Meanwhile, out on the Boundary Waters, winter falls hard. Cork’s team of searchers loses contact with civilization, and like the brutal winds of a Minnesota blizzard, death — violent and sudden — stalks them.more

My introduction to this award-winning author’s Cork O’Connor series that takes place in mixed-ancestry rich northern Minnesota. I will be back for more.
Love the Cork O’Connor books.
This is a series worth reading!
Good book but his latest books all have a political slant, I can’t recommend him any more.
Very well written
I really enjoy this series. It has some rather unique elements that make it stand out from other mystery series. The setting is Aurora, Minnesota. It’s a rather remote area surrounded by wilderness and the perfect backdrop for a good story. Nature can be a brutal enemy at times and Krueger uses that to his advantage in this story in particular.
