( ) This mystery novel takes readers back in time to when Cork O’Connor was just entering his teen years. Liam, his dad, is the sheriff, married to a Native American. Cork and his friends stumble on a body hanging from a tree, an apparent suicide. But Liam is not willing to take the situation at face value, and he draws criticism from both the Native American people and the white inhabitants of the town. Liam and Cork search for answers on their own, with Cork seeking the advice of a respected tribesman. As different facts fall in place, both father and son come close to the same conclusion, and both are put in danger because of it. The author’s gentle descriptions of the scenes and setting, as well as his in-depth characterizations, will almost make readers forget that they are reading a murder mystery, until it all breaks wide open at the conclusion. Readers can always depend on this masterful storyteller to spin a captivating yarn. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Aurora is a small town nestled in the ancient forest alongside the shores of Minnesota's Iron Lake. In the summer of 1963, it is the whole world to twelve-year-old Cork O'Connor, its rhythms as familiar as his own heartbeat. But when Cork stumbles upon the body of a man he revered hanging from a tree in an abandoned logging camp, it is the first in a series of events that will cause him to question everything he took for granted about his hometown, his family, and himself. Cork's father, Liam O'Connor, is Aurora's sheriff and it is his job to confirm that the man's death was the result of suicide, as all the evidence suggests. In the shadow of his father's official investigation, Cork begins to look for answers on his own. Together, father and son face the ultimate test of choosing between what their heads tell them is true and what their hearts know is right. In this masterful story of a young man and a town on the cusp of change, beloved novelist William Kent Krueger shows that some mysteries can be solved even as others surpass our understanding.-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
