Deep in the mine during his first day on the job, Cork stumbles across a secret room that contains the remains of six murder victims. Five appear to be nearly half a century old--connected to what the media once dubbed \"The Vanishings,\" a series of unsolved disappearances in the summer of 1964, when Cork's father was sheriff in Tamarack County. But the sixth has been dead less than a week. What's worse, two of the bodies--including the most recent victim--were killed using Cork's own gun, one handed down to him from his father. As Cork searches for answers, he must dig into his own past and that of his father, a well-respected man who harbored a ghastly truth. Time is running out, however. New threats surface, and unless Cork can unravel the tangled thread of clues quickly, more death is sure to come. Vermilion Drift is a powerful novel, filled with all the mystery and suspense for which Krueger has won so many awards. A poignant portrayal of the complexities of family life, it's also a sobering reminder that even those closest to our hearts can house the darkest--and deadliest--of secrets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Kent Krueger is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe River We Remember\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThis Tender Land\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOrdinary Grace \u003c\/i\u003e(winner of the Edgar Award for best novel), and the original audio novella \u003ci\u003eThe Levee\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as twenty acclaimed books in the Cork O'Connor mystery series, including \u003ci\u003eSpirit Crossing\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Fox Creek\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLightning Strike\u003c\/i\u003e.
