In this first of a series, Chicago cop Cork O'Connor and his lawyer-wife Jo have moved back to his northern Minnesota hometown of Aurora to improve their quality of life. It didnt work. They split and Jo is working for Indian tribal rights while Cork is running a diner and gift shop, sleeping with the hired help, and wanting to get back with his wife and daughters. A former judge apparently commits suicide, an Indian newsboy disappears, and Cork is drawn into the mystery in conflict with the newly elected sheriff, wife Jo and her lover (the judges son), as well as local tribal leaders. Theres plenty of plot and this appears to be a solid basis for the series.
