Sheriff Cork OâConnor is running for his lifeâstraight into a murderous conspiracy involving teenage runaways in this thrilling installment of William Kent Kruegerâs âbuy-today-read-tonight seriesâ (Lee Child).
Desperately avoiding the professional hit men who have already put a bullet in his leg, Cork finds sanctuary outside the small Michigan town of Bodine. But while heâs hiding out in an old resort owned by his cousin Jewell DuBois, a bitter widow with a fourteen-year-old son named Ren, the body of a young girl surfaces along the banks of the Copper River. And then, soon after, another teenager vanishes.
Instead of thwarting his assassins, Cork focuses on tracking a ring of killers who prey on innocent childrenâdesperate to catch them before anyone else falls victim. But as his deadly followers close in, Cork realizes heâs made an error any good man might makeâand it may be his last.
