Cork's father, Liam O'Connor, is Aurora's sheriff and it is his job to confirm that the man's death was the result of suicide, as all the evidence suggests. In the shadow of his father's official investigation, Cork begins to look for answers on his own. Together, father and son face the ultimate test of choosing between what their heads tell them is true and what their hearts know is right. In this \"brilliant achievement, and one every crime reader and writer needs to celebrate\" (Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author), beloved novelist William Kent Krueger shows that some mysteries can be solved even as others surpass our understanding.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47950375059645,"sku":"BS-TC0-128692","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9781982128692-HD.jpg?v=1786004014"},{"product_id":"apostles-cove","title":"Apostle's Cove","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling Cork O'Connor Mystery series--a \"master class in suspense and atmospheric storytelling\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Real Book Spy\u003c\/i\u003e)--continues with Cork O'Connor revisiting a case from his past and confronting mysterious deaths in the present. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA few nights before Halloween, as Cork O'Connor 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.

On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead -- not only on Patricia's kidnapping, but also on another FBI cold case -- with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWindsor Horne Lockwood III -- or Win, as his few friends call him -- doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's stolen painting ended up with a dead man. But his interest is piqued, especially when the FBI tells him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism -- and that the conspirators may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades, but Win has three things the FBI doesn't: a personal connection to the case; an ungodly fortune; and his own unique brand of justice. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47951168569533,"sku":"BS-TC0-748237","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9781538748237-HD.jpg?v=1786021257"},{"product_id":"out-law-a-dresden-files-novella","title":"Out Law: A Dresden Files Novella","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe past comes back in a big way for Chicago's only professional wizard in this action-packed novella--now a national bestseller--from the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e-bestselling Dresden Files.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a city that's just beginning to recover from the devastation caused by the Battle of Chicago, Harry Dresden is finally pulling himself together as well.
