When the body of a teenage Ojibwe girl washes up on the shore of an island in Lake Superior, the residents of the nearby Bad Bluff reservation whisper that it was the work of a deadly mythical beast, the Windigo, or a vengeful spirit called Michi Peshu. Such stories have been told by the Ojibwe people for generations, but they don't explain how the girl and her friend, Mariah Arceneaux, disappeared a year ago. At the request of the Arceneaux family, private investigator Cork O'Connor takes on the case.

This was another excellent read from William Kent Krueger. I have read all his books before this one and he does not disappoint. His books are always riveting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. This one was about young Ojibwe girls and prostitution. We get a lot of information about the history and culture of the Ojibwe Indians and why these girls would turn to prostitution. Krueger's excellent writing makes for a realistic story and a hard to put down book. I look forward to the next book and I would highly recommend this series to those who like mystery in the wilderness and Indian history.
