William Kent Krueger / Northwest Angle

William Kent Krueger reads from Northwest Angle, the latest in the detective Cork O'Connor series.

With his family caught in the crosshairs of a group of brutal killers,
detective Cork O'Connor must solve the murder of a young girl in the
latest installment of William Kent Krueger's unforgettable "New York
Times" bestselling series.



During a houseboat vacation on the
remote Lake of the Woods, a violent gale sweeps through unexpectedly,
stranding Cork and his daughter, Jenny, on a devastated island where the
wind has ushered in a force far darker and more deadly than any storm.



Amid
the wreckage, Cork and Jenny discover an old trapper's cabin where they
find the body of a teenage girl. She wasn't killed by the storm,
however; she'd been bound and tortured before she died. Whimpering
sounds coming from outside the cabin lead them to a tangle of branches
toppled by the vicious winds. Underneath the debris, they find a baby
boy, hungry and dehydrated, but still very much alive. Powerful forces
intent on securing the child pursue them to the isolated Northwest
Angle, where it's impossible to tell who among the residents is in
league with the devil. Cork understands that to save his family he must
solve the puzzle of this mysterious child whom death follows like a
shadow.

"Solid storytelling and intriguing characterizations combine for a sobering look at the power of family and faith and Native American culture. Krueger never writes the same book twice as each installment finds him delving deeper into Cork's psyche." --Publishers Weekly

"Part adventure, part mystery, and all knockout thriller. . . Catch-your breath suspense throughout." --Booklist
