Synopsis

Cork O'Connor is old now. The call comes from his son Stephen, a law student working with an innocence project: the Ojibwe man Cork helped convict of a brutal murder decades ago, Axel Boshey, did not do it.

Cork goes back into the case — his case — and finds that the county has not forgotten it either, and that there are people in Tamarack County still powerful enough, and frightened enough, to kill to keep the original verdict standing. Meanwhile Cork's young grandson has his own account of what is happening, and it involves the Windigo.

Apostle's Cove is the twenty-first Cork O'Connor novel, published in 2025. It asks the question the series has circled for twenty books: what a man owes for the harm he did while believing he was doing right.
