Boundary Waters (Cork O'Connor #2)
Author: William Kent Krueger
Desc: The Quetico-Superior Wilderness: more than two million acres of forest white-water rapids and uncharted islands on the Canadian/American border. Somewhere in the heart of this unforgiving territory a young woman named Shiloh -- a country-western singer at the height of her fame -- has disappeared. Her father arrives in Aurora Minnesota to hire Cork O'Connor to find his daughter and Cork joins a search party that includes an ex-con two FBI agents and a ten-year-old boy. Others are on her trail as well -- men hired not just to find her but to kill her. As the expedition ventures deeper into the wilderness strangers descend on Aurora threatening to spill blood on the town's snowy streets. Meanwhile out on the Boundary Waters winter falls hard. Cork's team of searchers loses contact with civilization and like the brutal winds of a Minnesota blizzard death -- violent and sudden -- stalks them.
