Publisher's noteA brilliant new installment in the prize-winning Cork O'Connor series -- from the acclaimed author of "The Devil's Bed" and "Purgatory Ridge" -- immerses readers in an eerie mystery surrounding a racially charged murder in small-town Minnesota. Winner of the Loft-McKnight Fiction Award and the Anthony Award for Best First Novel, William Kent Krueger is a wholly original talent among mystery writers, managing to fuse inspired, fluid storytelling with complex, finely textured characterizations. Now, in a briskly paced novel that outstrips even its predecessors in its ability to ratchet up the suspense, Krueger takes us back to Aurora, Minnesota, where the charismatic Cork O'Connor encounters his most baffling case to date. When the corpse of a beautiful high school student is discovered on a hillside four months after her disappearance on New Year's Eve, all evidence points to her boyfriend, local bad boy Solemn Winter Moon. Despite Solemn's self-incriminating decision to go into hiding, Cork O'Connor, Aurora's former sheriff, isn't about to hang the crime on the kid, whom O'Connor is convinced is innocent. In an uphill battle to clear Solemn's name, Cork encounters no shortage of adversity. Some he knows all too well -- small-town bigotry and bureaucracy foremost among them. What Cork isn't prepared for is the emergence of a long-held resentment hailing from his own childhood. And when Solemn reappears, claiming to have seen a vision of Jesus Christ in Blood Hollow, the mystery becomes thornier than Cork could ever have anticipated. And that's when the miracles start happening.... Praised by critics and peers alike for his bold and insightful writing, William Kent Krueger hasbecome a master of mixing brilliant, evocative prose with stunning, nonstop suspense. Readers are sure to be riveted by his latest foray into the darkest corners of a small-town paradise and the detective who is determined to bring it all to light. AnnotationA high school student disappears into a Minnesota blizzard after a New Year's Eve party and is later found murdered. The death is pinned on her boyfriend, Solemn Winter Moon, an Ojibwa boy with a bad reputation who is clearly a victim himself of racial prejudice. Aurora ex-sheriff Cork O'Connor is determined to prove the boy's innocence, despite the evidence against him, including his suspicious disappearance after the body was found. Things get stranger when Solemn shows up again, saying he's had a vision of Jesus. If You Enjoy "Blood Hollow (Paperback)", May We Also Recommend:
