Windigo Island

Windigo Island is a Cork O’Connor novel that begins with the body of a teenage Ojibwe girl washing ashore on an island in Lake Superior, reopening questions about her disappearance and that of her friend Mariah Arceneaux a year earlier. Cork is drawn into the search for Mariah, and the case leads him into a story shaped by grief, exploitation, and the vulnerability of Native girls and young women.

Set around the Bad Bluff reservation and the cold, exposed landscape of Lake Superior, the novel carries a darker, more urgent tone than a conventional small-town mystery. It blends crime fiction with a strong sense of place and with the spiritual and cultural undercurrents that run through much of the Cork O’Connor series. Readers can expect a tense, emotionally charged investigation with high personal stakes, a steadily mounting sense of danger, and a story that is as concerned with the people left exposed by violence as it is with solving the crime itself. As the fourteenth Cork O’Connor book, it fits firmly within the series while still presenting a clear central conflict of its own.
