Months after the tragedy, two women show up on Cork’s doorstep with evidence that the pilot of Jo’s plane was not the man he claimed to be. It may not be definitive proof, but it’s a ray of light in the darkness. Agreeing to investigate, Cork travels to Wyoming, where he battles the interference of local law enforcement who may be on the take, the open hostility of the Northern Arapaho, who have much to lose if the truth is known, and the continuing attempts on his life by assassins who shadow his every move. At the center of all the danger and deception lies the possibility that Jo’s disappearance was not the end of her, that somewhere along the labyrinthine path of his search, maybe even in the broad shadow of Heaven’s Keep itself, Cork will find her alive and waiting for him.

Review
“A powerful crime writer at the top of his game.” —David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of The Shimmer
"There's a reason why William Kent Krueger is known as a writer's writer. His stories are works of art, literary wonders that beautifully capture a sense of place while they deliver a powerful emotional punch." -- Tess Gerritsen
"Heaven's Keep has it all. A mystery that will have you stumped, a fascinating look at the traditions, folklore, and current-day politics of Native Americans, and a drama that will have you embracing your loved ones at the close of each and every chapter. It is a nail-biting suspense from a writer soon to be on the top of everyone's must-read list." -- Vince Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Extreme Measures

About the author

Raised in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, William Kent Krueger briefly attended Stanford University—before being kicked out for radical activities. After that, he logged timber, worked construction, tried his hand at freelance journalism, and eventually ended up researching child development at the University of Minnesota. He currently makes his living as a full-time author. He’s been married for over 40 years to a marvelous woman who is a retired attorney. He makes his home in St. Paul, a city he dearly loves.
Krueger writes a mystery series set in the north woods of Minnesota. His protagonist is Cork O’Connor, the former sheriff of Tamarack County and a man of mixed heritage—part Irish and part Ojibwe. His work has received a number of awards, including the Minnesota Book Award, the Loft-McKnight Fiction Award, the Anthony Award, the Barry Award, the Dilys Award, and the Friends of American Writers Prize. His last five novels were all New York Times bestsellers.
"Ordinary Grace," his stand-alone novel published in 2013, received the Edgar Award, given by the Mystery Writers of America in recognition for the best novel published in that year. "Manitou Canyon," number fifteen in his Cork O’Connor series, was released in September 2016. Visit his website at www.williamkentkrueger.com.

Another unexpected ending. It satisfied but . . . I don't like to write anything that might be a spoiler. I will say it was lifechanging for some of the main characters.
I just bought the next book in this series and am looking forward to reading it.

Cork O'Conner geht eines Morgens im Streit mit seiner Frau auseinander, ohne sich zu versöhnen. Seine Frau geht auf Geschäftsreise, von der sie nach einem Flugzeugabsturz nicht zurückkehren wird und Cork bleibt nichts von ihr, ausser einer kurzen Nachricht auf seiner Mailbox. Er verfällt nach diesem schmerzlichen Verlust, der ihn als alleinerziehenden Vater zurückläßt, in tiefe Trauer. Es wird bereits Herbst, als er auf neue Spuren zum Flugzeugabsturz seiner Frau stößt und er beginnt, seinem Instinkt als Privatdetektiv folgend, diesen zu folgen. Was dann folgt ist eine hochspannende Geschichte um Spielcasinos, Indianerreservate und Naturschutzgebiete, die vor winterlicher Kulisse in den Rocky Mountains zu einem dramatischen Höhepunkt in einem -fast traditionellen Thema vom Kampf Mann gegen Mann-verschneiten, einsamen Tal zum Ende kommt.
Das klingt erstemal ganz platt, doch ich hatte während des ganzen Buches, das sprachlich schön ist, das Gefühl, dass es dem Autor auch darum ging, Zeit für seine wesentlichen Charactere zu haben, die Probleme von Indianern in der Neuzeit zu beschreiben, in ihre Zerrissenheit von Tradition und Moderne einzutauchen und auch eine Lanze für die unberührte Schönheit der Natur der Rocky Mountains zu brechen und dafür, wie wichtig auch im heutigen Überlebenskampf der Ureinwohner von Nordamerika es ist, diese zu erhalten. Darüber hinaus gibt es auch ein wenig Weisheiten für den Alltag: geht nicht auseinander im Streit.
Ich finde ein gelungener Mix aus spannendem Krimi mit modernem Hintergrund, gefühlvoller Erzählung und etwas zum Nachdenke.

ab. Es besteht wenig Hoffnung sie rechtzeitig zu finden - falls sie den Sturz überlebt haben. Doch Stephen, O'Connors 13-jähriger Sohn hat einen Traum, der der Familie Hoffnung gibt. Cork und Stephen machen sich auf die Suche. Dramatisch, traurig - dennoch kann man auch diesen Roman nicht aus der Hand legen. Und warum nicht einen Trhiller schreiben aus der Sicht der Angehörigen der Opfer. Krueger tut dies glaubwürdig und tiefsinn ig. Das macht es erträglich, ja sogar tröstlich.
