Trickster’s Point

Trickster’s Point is a Cork O’Connor novel that begins with a killing so direct and personal that Cork himself is drawn into the center of the crime. Deep in the Minnesota wilderness, he is with his old friend Jubal Little, a prominent political figure and a leading candidate for governor, when Jubal is fatally struck by an arrow. Because the arrow belongs to Cork, suspicion falls immediately on him, turning the investigation into both a search for a murderer and a fight to clear his own name.

The novel moves between present-day danger and the long history between Cork and Jubal, giving the story a more intimate and reflective edge than a straightforward case-driven thriller. Set in northern Minnesota, it combines political tension, old loyalties, and unresolved personal history with the series’ usual strong sense of place. Readers can expect a tense mystery with emotional weight, a steadily tightening investigation, and a story that asks how well anyone can truly know the people who shaped their past.
