Iron Lake by William Kent Krueger

Iron Lake by William Kent Krueger

William Kent Krueger joined the ranks of today's best suspense novelists with this thrilling, universally acclaimed debut. Conjuring a sense of place he's plainly honed firsthand in below-zero prairie (Kirkus Reviews), Krueger brilliantly evokes northern Minnesota's lake country -- and reveals the dark side of its snow-covered landscape.
Part Irish, part Anishinaabe Indian, Corcoran Cork O'Connor is the former sheriff of Aurora, Minnesota. Embittered by his former status, and the marital meltdown that has separated him from his children, Cork gets by on heavy doses of caffeine, nicotine, and guilt. Once a cop on Chicago's South Side, there's not much that can shock him. But when the town's judge is brutally murdered, and a young Eagle Scout is reported missing, Cork takes on a mind-jolting case of conspiracy, corruption, and scandal.
As a lakeside blizzard buries Aurora, Cork must dig out the truth among town officials who seem dead-set on stopping his investigation in its tracks. But even Cork freezes up when faced with the harshest enemy of all: a small-town secret that hits painfully close to home.

William Kent Krueger is the author of eighteen Cork O'Connor novels, including Desolation Mountain and Sulfur Springs, as well as the New York Times bestselling Ordinary Grace, which won the Edgar Award for best novel. His family and he live in the Twin Cities. WilliamKentKrueger.com is his website.
