Description

When the daughter of a powerful businessman dies from meth addiction, her grief-stricken father vows brutal revenge—setting off a dangerous conflict in picturesque Tamarack County, Minnesota. Private investigator Cork O’Connor is drawn into a volatile racial gang war involving the Red Boyz, a group of young men who appropriate the names of Ojibwe war chiefs as they embrace violence and defiance. As long-buried tensions between communities surface, Cork must navigate a perilous web of vengeance, identity, and divided loyalties. Atmospheric and suspenseful, this crime novel explores the corrosive effects of addiction, racism, and inherited conflict against the vivid landscape of northern Minnesota.
