William Kent Krueger will be back at the Wilson Center! Tickets include a signed hardcover copy of APOSTLE'S COVE.
Boswell Book Company, Books & Company, and the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts present a special, ticketed evening with William Kent Krueger, the Edgar Award-winning author of novels such as Ordinary Grace, This Tender Land, and the Cork O'Connor series. He visits with Apostle's Cove, the twenty-first novel in his beloved series, in which Cork O’Connor revisits a case from his past and confronts mysterious deaths in the present.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
A few nights before Halloween, as Cork O'Connor gloomily ruminates on his upcoming birthday, he receives a call from his son, Stephen, who is working for a nonprofit dedicated to securing freedom for unjustly incarcerated inmates. Stephen tells his father that decades ago, as the newly elected sheriff of Tamarack County, Cork was responsible for sending an Ojibwe man named Axel Boshey to prison for a brutal murder that Stephen is certain he did not commit.
Cork feels compelled to reinvestigate the crime, but that is easier said than done. Not only is it a closed case but Axel Boshey is, inexplicably, refusing to help. The deeper Cork digs, the clearer it becomes that there are those in Tamarack County who are willing once again to commit murder to keep him from finding the truth.
At the same time, Cork's seven-year-old grandson has his own theory about the investigation: the Windigo, that mythic cannibal ogre, has come to Tamarack County...and it won't leave until it has sated its hunger for human blood.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
William Kent Krueger is the New York Times bestselling author of The River We Remember, This Tender Land, Ordinary Grace, winner of the Edgar Award for best novel, as well as twenty acclaimed books in the Cork O’Connor mystery series, including Spirit Crossing, Fox Creek, and Lightning Strike.
