Two-time Anthony Award-winning author William Kent Krueger has ``moved to the head of the crime fiction class`` ( Chicago Sun-Times ) with his gripping series featuring Sheriff Cork O\'Connor.
But as his deadly followers close in, Cork realizes he\'s made an error any good man might make -- and it may be his last..
Instead of thwarting his assassins, Cork focuses on tracking a ring of killers who prey on innocent children -- before anyone else falls victim.
But while he\'s 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 another teenager vanishes.
Desperately avoiding the clutches of professional hit men who have already put a bullet in his leg, Cork finds sanctuary outside the small Michigan town of Bodine.
In Copper River , Cork is running for his life -- and straight into a murderous conspiracy involving teenage runaways.
