Description
A disappearance and a dead body put Cork O'Connor's family in the crosshairs of a killer in the twentieth book in the New York Times bestselling series from William Kent Krueger-, "a master storyteller at the top of his game" (Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author). The disappearance of a local politician's teenaged daughter is major news in Minnesota. As a huge manhunt is launched to find her, Cork O'Connor's grandson stumbles across the shallow grave of a young Ojibwe woman--but nobody seems that interested. Nobody, that is, except Cork and the newly formed Iron Lake Ojibwe Tribal Police. As Cork and the tribal officers dig into the circumstances of this mysterious and grim discovery, they uncover a connection to the missing teenager. And soon, it's clear that Cork's grandson is in danger of being the killer's next victim.

Reviews
Praise for Lightning Strike "Lightning Strike explores the tender relationship between father and son. It is written with grace and understanding. It is a stunning novel that will captivate readers even if they've never read a Cork O'Connor mystery." --Denver Post
"William Kent Krueger is a master storyteller at the top of his game with Lightning Strike. A pitch perfect, richly imagined story that is both an edge-of-your-seat thriller and an evocative, emotionally-charged coming of age tale that explores the complex bonds between fathers and sons and the long simmering animosities of the past. This is a beautifully written novel that packs a powerful punch. I loved it." --Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Four Winds
"Marvelous. I've long been a fan of William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor series, and this essential novel allows us to witness how young Cork developed and matured. Not just a story of fathers and sons, it's also a tale of Natives and settlers and how laws such as the Indian Relocation Act influenced both...A gripping, heartbreaking tale with beautiful writing, vividly drawn characters, and a story you won't be able to put down." --David Heska Wanbli Weiden, Edgar and Anthony Award-nominated author of Winter Counts
"Lightning Strike is a brilliantly plotted, deeply emotional mystery that opens strong, building more intensity with each passing page. This is William Kent Krueger at his best, and the perfect spot for new readers to enter the series." --The Real Book Spy
"Poignant, powerful, and mesmerizing... Krueger skillfully blends big, suspenseful moments with quiet, keenly observed insights into human nature. This novel is rich with wisdom about right and wrong, choice and change, fathers and sons, and the ways in which loss can shape us as profoundly as love." --Amazon Book Review
Praise for Fox Creek "This genuinely thrilling and atmospheric novel brims with characters who are easy to root for."--The New York Times Book Review
"As usual in a Krueger novel, the prose is elegant, the landscape of Minnesota's northeastern triangle is vividly portrayed, the character development is superb, and Henry's Native American mysticism is treated with understanding and respect." --The Washington Post
"From Iron Lake -- the first in the Cork O'Connor series -- to Fox Creek, Krueger has exhibited a mastery and control that can't be denied. Maybe he should start calling himself an alchemist, because he has the formula down to an art." --St. Louis Post Dispatch
"Krueger maintains an eerie tone throughout, folding subtle supernatural elements into one of his most puzzling mysteries to date. This long-running series still has plenty of gas in the tank" --Publishers Weekly
"Krueger introduces an eclectic host of characters, lays out an immersive setting, and fleshes out a heartfelt mystery that will stay with readers long after the final page." --Minnesota Monthly
