Copper River

Wounded and pursued by the men who tried to kill him, Cork O'Connor goes to ground at his cousin's resort in Bodine, on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. He intends to heal and stay invisible.

Instead a girl's body is found on the bank of the Copper River, and a local boy tells him another teenager is missing. Cork, in no condition to fight anyone, starts asking questions — and finds a predatory operation running through the runaways and throwaway kids of the north woods, while the assassins hunting him close in.

Copper River is the sixth Cork O'Connor novel and the direct continuation of Mercy Falls.
