God’s Country

God’s Country is a Cork O’Connor novel that sends its longtime protagonist back into the Minnesota wilderness under a shadow of dread. As Cork prepares for a family trip into the Boundary Waters, he is troubled by ominous visions about what lies ahead. When his friend Cordell Bishop goes missing, Cork begins searching for him and quickly uncovers signs of violence that suggest something much more dangerous is unfolding.

From there, the novel appears to move into harder, more perilous territory, with Cork forced to deal with dangerous criminals known as the Kennedy brothers, who are searching for their dead father’s hidden stash. The setup points to a wilderness mystery with strong suspense elements, personal stakes, and the tense, exposed atmosphere that often defines the series at its best. As the twenty-second Cork O’Connor novel, it clearly belongs to the later stretch of the series, but its premise is immediate and easy to grasp on its own.
