This is the second book in the series and the second that I have read and it may be my last in the series.
The book is well written and easily readable which is a plus in this style book. The characters are interesting and mostly believable.
The story line moves along, but seems to require unlikely coincidences to do so to suit me. The leading character is almost inept in his role, but survives due to the lucky rabbit's foot the author gave him to carry in his pocket.
The part I enjoyed most was the information provided about the Indians and geography in the area where the story takes place.

Great book--great author
Second in the series featuring Cork O'Connor. This time Cork is asked by an old acquaintance to help find his daughter, supposedly missing somewhere in over a million acres of wilderness. Cork is reluctant as he doesn't think he can be much help, but decides if that were his daughter he would want someone to try. The situation turns very strange very quickly as two other parties appear, both claiming to be the biological father of the missing woman; and then the FBI turns up threatening all and sundry if they don't cooperate. There are multiple POVs in this story: Cork, his estranged wife Jo, and Shiloh, the missing woman. Each POV was given enough pages so I didn't feel like I was bouncing from one to the next, although Krueger ended a number of chapters with big cliffhangers. I also thought he did a good job disguising the real villain; although I knew someone in the search party was a bad guy, I didn't know who it was until the author revealed it (not my first time reading this book, but it was long enough ago I didn't remember any of it). Excellent sense of place with the foreboding woods, the lakes and river rapids, and the stories told by the young Anishinaabe boy add a lot of atmosphere. Like the first book it reads very quickly. There's enough backstory so that if you hadn't read the first it's easy to pick up the characters. Large body count and some gory bits but bottom line, it was very suspenseful. Good book.
Another exciting book by Cork O'Connor. This is a page turner!
