Cork O'Connor has been asked to help with security regarding nuclear waste being stored in an old mine. Cork also is asked to help find the sister of a wealthy businessman. Cork is no longer the sherrif but his private investigative services are well known. The sherrif's office asks him to work with them as they try to solve the disappearance and to figure out who is threatening mine officials. As Cork digs deeper into the disappearance, he finds himself involved in a forty-old mystery that leads him to question the actions of his father who was sherrif at the time of the incident.
I have often heard that William Kent Krueger's books describing life in northern Minnesota are well worth reading. I just hadn't gotten around to them. I am certainly glad that I did and I plan to go back and read some others. Cork is a very likeable character and although his Indian heritage is a central part of the story, it does not over power or preach.
