Henry Meloux and Rainy Bisonette are leading a woman through a sweat to help her find answers that she hopes will save her marriage. If that wasn’t obvious after the prior 18 books in the Cork O’Connor series, it’s abundantly clear after Fox Creek, a profound and gratifying story about perseverance, wisdom, redemption and following your heart to do what you think is right even when it puts you in harm's way. New and longtime “fans will be enthralled” ( Publishers Weekly, starred review) by this gripping and richly told addition to a masterful series.I will never be as good at anything in life as William Kent Kreuger is at writing exquisitely touching and soul restoring novels. But his fiercest enemy in this deadly game of cat and mouse may well be his own deep self-doubt about his ability to save those he loves. He knows only too well that with each passing hour time is running out. Desperate, Cork begins tracking the killers but his own skills as a hunter are severely tested by nightfall and a late season snowstorm. Meanwhile, in Aurora, Cork works feverishly to identify the hunters and the reason for their relentless pursuit, but he has little to go on. On the last journey he may ever take into this beloved land, Meloux must do his best to outwit the deadly mercenaries who follow. Meloux guides this stranger and his great niece, Cork O’Connor’s wife, to safety deep into the Boundary Waters, his home for more than a century. But peace is destined to elude him as hunters fill the woods seeking a woman named Dolores Morriseau, a stranger who had come to the healer for shelter and the gift of his wisdom. As he walks the Northwoods in solitude, he tries to prepare himself peacefully for the end of his long life. The ancient Ojibwe healer Henry Meloux has had a vision of his death. The New York Times bestselling Cork O’Connor Mystery Series returns with this “genuinely thrilling and atmospheric novel” ( The New York Times Book Review ) as Cork races against time to save his wife, a mysterious stranger, and an Ojibwe healer from bloodthirsty mercenaries.
