REVIEW: This was a new author that we liked very much. The author does an excellent job of bringing together multiple stories about love, loss and family. The result is a wholly satisfying novel packed with adventure and suspense that is over almost too soon. I found this to be a fast read that kept my attention through. We both gave it [4-1/2-Stars]SYNOPSIS: “The promise, as I remember it, happened this way.” It is with these words that Cork O'Connor begins the story of a promise he will always regret. Happy and content in his hometown of Aurora, Minnesota, he has left his badge behind and is ready for a life of relative peace, running a burger joint with his daughters and setting up shop as a private investigator. But his newfound state of calm is soon interrupted when Henry Meloux, the Ojibwe medicine man and Cork's spiritual adviser, makes a request: Find the son that Henry fathered nearly 70 years ago? With little to go on, Cork uses his investigative skills to locate Henry Wellington, a wealthy and reclusive industrialist living in Thunder Bay, Ontario. When a murder attempt is made on old Meloux's life, all clues point north across the border on a journey through time as he unravels the story of Meloux's 1920s adventures in the ore-rich wilderness of Canada, where his love for a beautiful woman, far outside his culture, led him into a trap of treachery, greed, and murder. All of this is complicated by the fact that his eldest daughter gets pregnant right before her plans to go to college.
