New York Times bestselling author William Kent Krueger joined the ranks of today's best suspense novelists with this thrilling, universally acclaimed debut. Conjuring "e;a sense of place he's plainly honed firsthand in below-zero prairie"e; (Kirkus Reviews), Krueger brilliantly evokes northern Minnesota's lake countryand reveals the dark side of its snow-covered landscape.Part Irish, part Anishinaabe Indian, Corcoran "e;Cork"e; O'Connor is the former sheriff of Aurora, Minnesota. Embittered by his "e;former"e; status, and the marital meltdown that has separated him from his children, Cork gets by on heavy doses of caffeine, nicotine, and guilt. Once a cop on Chicago's South Side, there's not much that can shock him. But when the town's judge is brutally murdered, and a young Eagle Scout is reported missing, Cork takes on a mind-jolting case of conspiracy, corruption, and scandal. As a lakeside blizzard buries Aurora, Cork must dig out the truth among town officials who seem dead-set on stopping his investigation in its tracks. But even Cork freezes up when faced with the harshest enemy of all: a small-town secret that hits painfully close to home.
