The Minnesota woods would probably be crawling with searchers even without the presence of LeLoup, an Ojibwe tracker who works for a hard-nosed man named Kimball, whose other hirelings seem to be lurking, fully armed, behind every tree as they look for Lou Morriseau themselves. So do a whole lot of other people, including Stephen O’Connor, Cork and Rainy’s son and law student Belle Morriseau, Lou’s sister. So do Henry and his great-niece, Rainy, who’s married to Cork. As if that weren’t confusing enough, the false Lou Morriseau has vanished himself. Shortly thereafter he gets a second surprise: The missing Dolores turns up and indicates that the man who hired Cork doesn’t look a bit like her husband. Certain that this disappearance isn’t what it seems, he agrees to take a look. Cork’s not interested until he hears the identity of Dolores Morriseau’s alleged lover: Henry Meloux, the ancient healer at Crow Point reservation, who must be close to 100. His wife has gone AWOL with her lover, and Lou wants Cork to step away from the grill at Sam’s Place and look for her. But that’s the only thing that’s straightforward about it.Įdina real estate attorney Louis Morriseau’s pitch couldn’t be simpler. Cork O’Connor’s latest case is a search through the Minnesota wilderness for a missing person.
