Quick Summary
Cork O'Connor brings his mixed Irish and Native American heritage to a Minnesota town where nothing is as it seems, and every secret has teeth.

If your kid loves the small-town sleuthing of Nancy Drew or the Native American culture and adventure in "The Last of the Mohicans" for younger readers, they'll be hooked from page one.
