Synopsis

In November, with his daughter's wedding days away and winter coming down over the Boundary Waters, Cork O'Connor agrees to guide a search for a missing man. He does not come back.

His family flies in to the lake and finds his campsite, and blood, and no sign of him. What they uncover as they search is not a hunting accident or a lost hiker but a plot with a body count in the hundreds if it is allowed to run.

Manitou Canyon is the fifteenth Cork O'Connor novel, and one of the few in which Cork is the missing person and the O'Connor children have to do the finding.
