Description
When mayhem descends on a tiny logging town, former sheriff Cork O’Connor is called upon to investigate a murder. Not far from Aurora, Minnesota (population 3,752), lies an ancient expanse of great white pines, sacred to the Anishinaabe tribe. When an explosion kills the night watchman at wealthy industrialist Karl Lindstrom’s nearby lumber mill, it’s obvious where suspicion will fall. Cork O’Connor agrees to help investigate, but he has mixed feelings about the case: he is part Anishinaabe, and his wife, a lawyer, represents the tribe. Meanwhile, near Lindstrom’s lakeside home, a reclusive shipwreck survivor and his sidekick are harboring their own resentment of the industrialist. It soon becomes clear to Cork that danger, both at home and in Aurora, lurks around every corner…
