The first in the New York Times bestselling Cork OāConnor mystery series follows Corcoran āCorkā OāConnor as he delves into the dark side of small-town Minnesota while investigating a tangled web of corruption and danger. āA brilliant achievement, and one every crime reader and writer needs to celebrateā (Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
Cork OāConnor, the former sheriff of Aurora, Minnesota, is having difficulty dealing with the marital meltdown that has separated him from his children. Part Irish, part Anishinaabe Indian, he is getting by on heavy doses of caffeine, nicotine, and guilt.
Once a cop on Chicagoās South Side, thereās not much that can shock him. But when the townās judge is brutally murdered, and a young Eagle Scout is reported missing, Cork takes on this complicated and perplexing case of conspiracy, corruption, and a small-town secret that hits painfully close to home.
With white-knuckled suspense and unforgettable characters, Iron Lake demonstrates why āamong thoughtful readers, William Kent Krueger holds a very special place in the pantheonā (C.J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
