Cork O'Conner, the Tamarack County, Minnesota Sheriff's life is never easy. When he and Deputy Marsha Dross respond to a routine domestic call on the Iron Lake Reservation, someone starts shooting. Dross is severely injured and O'Connor barely escapes with his life.

Why were they ambushed? It soon begins to look like O'Connor was the target and the shooter mistook Dross for him. As one investigation begins, another horrific crime occurs and must be dealt with. Someone killed Eddie Jacoby, a horrible and violent man from a wealthy Chicago family. When the father and brother arrive to demand immediate results in the murder investigation, Lou Jacoby (Eddie's father) brings his own investigator, former FBI agent Dina Winter to help.

I didn't want the book to end and continued to think about it long after I finished reading it. It is suspense at its finest

Armchair Interview says: Author Krueger is in top form in Mercy Falls. The action is fast and hard hitting and the emotions run high in this compelling installment of Cork O'Connor's life as a man living between two worlds - that of the white man and that of the Native American.
