"Some nights, Corcoran O'Connor dreams his father's death.
"William Kent Krueger's gripping tale of suspense begins with a
recurring nightmare, a gun, and a wound in the earth so deep and
horrific that it has a name: Vermilion Drift.
When the Department of Energy puts an underground iron mine on its
short list of potential sites for storage of nuclear waste, a
barrage of protest erupts in Tamarack County, Minnesota, and Cork
is hired as a security consultant.
Deep in the mine during his first day on the job, Cork stumbles
across a secret room that contains the remains of six murder
victims. Five appear to be nearly half a century old--connected to
what the media once dubbed "The Vanishings," a series of unsolved
disappearances in the summer of 1964, when Cork's father was
sheriff in Tamarack County. But the sixth has been dead less than a
week. What's worse, two of the bodies--including the most recent
victim--were killed using Cork's own gun, one handed down to him
from his father.
As Cork searches for answers, he must dig into his own past and
that of his father, a well-respected man who harbored a ghastly
truth. Time is running out, however. New threats surface, and
unless Cork can unravel the tangled thread of clues quickly, more
death is sure to come.
"Vermilion Drift "is a powerful novel, filled with all the mystery
and suspense for which Krueger has won so many awards. A poignant
portrayal of the complexities of family life, it's also a sobering
reminder that even those closest to our hearts can house the
darkest--and deadliest--of secrets.
