William Kent Krueger at The Depot Theatre in Duluth

Zenith Bookstore, together with the Duluth Public Library and the Duluth Library Foundation, are delighted to announce a special evening at The Depot Theatre with New York Times bestselling author William Kent Krueger, celebrating the release of his new novel Apostle’s Cove. The much anticipated Apostle's Cove is book #21 in Krueger's beloved Cork O'Connor mystery series.

The literary event will be held on Friday, Sept. 12th at 7 pm and is free and open to the public. All of Krueger's books will be available for purchase. He will provide a lively presentation, in conversation with Zenith Bookstore's Sheri Olson, followed by a Q&A and book signing.

About the book:

A few nights before Halloween, as Cork O’Connor gloomily ruminates on his upcoming birthday, he receives a call from his son, Stephen, who is working for a nonprofit dedicated to securing freedom for unjustly incarcerated inmates. Stephen tells his father that decades ago, as the newly elected sheriff of Tamarack County, Cork was responsible for sending an Ojibwe man to prison for a brutal murder that Stephen is certain he did not commit.

Cork feels compelled to reinvestigate the crime, but that is easier said than done. The deeper Cork digs, the clearer it becomes that there are those in Tamarack County who are willing once again to commit murder to keep him from finding the truth. At the same time, Cork’s seven-year-old grandson has his own theory about the investigation: the Windigo, that mythic cannibal ogre, has come to Tamarack County … and it won’t leave until it has sated its hunger for human blood.
