Intrepid hero Cork O’Connor faces the most harrowing mission of his life when a charter plane carrying his wife, Jo, goes missing in a snowstorm over the Wyoming Rockies.
Months after the tragedy, two women show up on Cork’s doorstep with evidence that the pilot of Jo’s plane was not the man he claimed to be. It may not be definitive proof, but it’s a ray of light in the darkness. Agreeing to investigate, Cork travels to Wyoming, where he battles the interference of local law enforcement who may be on the take, the open hostility of the Northern Arapaho, who have much to lose if the truth is known, and the continuing attempts on his life by assassins who shadow his every move. At the center of all the danger and deception lies the possibility that Jo’s disappearance was not the end of her, that somewhere along the labyrinthine path of his search, maybe even in the broad shadow of Heaven’s Keep itself, Cork will find her alive and waiting for him.

Amazon Exclusive: Vince Flynn Reviews Heaven's Keep
Vince Flynn's writing career began in 1998, upon the publication of his first novel--and first bestseller--Term Limits. Since then, he has written ten political thrillers that feature renegade CIA operative Mitch Rapp. His two most recent novels, Protect and Defend and Extreme Measures, were both #1 New York Times bestsellers. His next book, Pursuit of Honor, will be published by Atria in October. He, like William Kent Krueger, has made his home in the Twin Cities, a longtime urban sanctuary for writers of every genre. Read his exclusive Amazon guest review of Heaven's Keep.
William Kent Krueger is the real deal. A dedicated wordsmith, you can find him most days at the St. Clair Broiler in St. Paul, hunched over a notebook, handwriting his latest masterpiece. Kent has written nine novels featuring half-Irish, half-Native American private detective Corcoran O'Connor. Every one of them, from Iron Lake to Heaven's Keep, is brimming with suspense and taps into our darkest fear: the inevitability that our loved ones will be taken from us.
Heaven's Keep begins with a plane crash. Over the imposing fortress of the Wyoming Rockies, a small charter plane carrying Jo, Cork's wife and mother of their three children, seemingly disappears into thin air. Cork travels to Casper to investigate, his thirteen-year-old son Stephen in tow, and is met with forbiddingly frozen terrain and the kind of weather a polar bear would hesitate to journey into. Despite help from local authorities and search crews, no sign of Jo's plane is found, leaving Cork and his family nothing to do but mourn her death.
Six months pass, the spring thaw has begun, and Cork has done his best as a single father, when the wife of the man who owned and flew the plane calls on Cork's investigative skills. An unlawful death suit has been filed against her husband's estate, charging that he had gotten drunk the night before the flight disappeared and was too hungover to navigate his way through the storm. The widow and her attorney have credible evidence suggesting her husband didn't even fly the plane. But if he didn't, who did? And where did they take Jo?
Cork returns to Wyoming just as the snows in the mountains are receding. This time, he's not only a grieving husband but a hired investigator, here to crack the apparent code of silence surrounding the missing plane. And this time, the locals aren't so welcoming. Cork finds himself going head-to-head with a shady sheriff and threats from the Northern Arapaho, who are somehow involved in the tragedy. In the meantime, he has become the target of some brutal assassins hired to put his curiosity permanently to rest.
What keeps Cork going every day, knowing it could be his last, is the thought that Jo might not have been taken from him just yet--that she could, in fact, be waiting for him in the hard heart of Heaven's Keep.
Heaven's Keep has it all. A mystery that will have you stumped, a fascinating look at the traditions, folklore, and current-day politics of Native Americans, and a drama that will have you embracing your loved ones at the close of each and every chapter. It is a nail-biting suspense from a writer soon to be on the top of everyone's must-read list. --Vince Flynn

Good new installment in the series
By Out of the AmaZone
Opinion Only - No Story Spoilers
This is the ninth novel in the Cork O'Connor series, and wouldn't be the best starting point for new readers into the series. This book takes a different approach than his others do and depends (to a point) on the reader being familiar with the characters already. Having read the series to date, I really enjoyed the story, and read it in two days. The first half of the book has little character development (ninth book in the series), and jumps right into the story of the disappearance of and search for Jo O'Connor and others, and Cork's coming to terms with the situation. The second part of the book is more like the rest of the series. Overall, I found it captivating and an easy read that became hard to put down.
I had the feeling that Thunder Bay would be the last in the Cork O'Connor series after completing it and was pleasantly surprised by the release of the next book, Red Knife, which I really enjoyed as well. This latest turn in Heaven's Keep may mark the end, or it may in fact mark a turning point toward a new direction in a series that might otherwise be limited by geographic location and relative isolation.
William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor series was recommended to me by Amazon about the time that Blood Hollow came out, because I had enjoyed series novels by Steve Hamilton and C.J.Box. After purchasing and enjoying Iron Lake, I ordered the next three novels in the series and enjoyed each book better than the last, and felt that WKK's writing improved with each one. Each story is built slightly off the last one, as series are prone to do, while still remaining fresh and captivating. While sometimes series characters tend towards unbelievability in terms of the number and type of events over the entire series, Krueger stays on the inside of this curve (and we as readers should generally allow a bit of flexibility -who wants to read books about a 32 year veteran cop who never even had cause to unholster his weapon?).
Good to read on their own, but much better to read in order, the Cork O'Connor series is:
Tamarack County - 2013
Trickster's Point - 2012
Northwest Angle - 2011
Vermilion Drift - 2010
Heavens Keep - 2009
Red Knife - 2008
Thunder Bay - 2007
Copper River - 2006
Mercy Falls - 2005
Blood Hollow - 2004
Purgatory Ridge - 2001
Boundary Waters - 1999
Iron Lake - 1998

Indian visions and detective work in search for a missing plane
By booksforabuck
She left him angry. And when her flight went down somewhere over Wyoming, all private detective Cork O'Connor could think was that he should have apologized, said something...anything but let their last words be those of love.
In the days immediately following the plane's disappearance, Cork and his teenage son, Stephen, head up to the desolation of Heaven's Keep, Wyoming where the FAA received the doomed plane's last message. With storms coming, and with the huge desolation of snow-covered mountain and Indian reservation, their effort to find Jo is practically hopeless. Still, they're encouraged by the word that a group of snowmobilers had heard a low-flying plane, and that a sometimes drunk Indian had a vision of the plane landing in what looked like a baby's crib.
Cork's hopes fade as more storms set in. Even if Jo had survived the landing, Wyoming's brutal winter would certainly have been fatal. But when he learns that the supposed pilot might not have been the man he was supposed to be, Cork wonders if bad weather and bad luck really explained his wife's disappearance. Could some darker cause related to human greed be responsible? He swears he'll find out, but in a world of brutal poverty, finding anyone to trust becomes dangerous indeed.
Author William Kent Krueger writes convincingly of the desolation of Indian country, of the poverty that afflicts reservation Indians, and of the mixed blessing that gambling casinos, with their addictions and connections to organized crimes, can bring. The story really takes two parts connected only by Cork's ongoing search for his wife--first the hunt for the plane and second, the search for the truth about the substitute pilot. From a mystery perspective, the first half is all setup. We meet the key players, learn about Cork and his problems, and stay with him as he gradually loses hope for his wife's survival. In the second half, Cork goes into detective mode, and faces threats to his life, gradually unraveling the secrets behind the loss of the small plane on which his wife, along with a group of tribal leaders, were flying.
I thought the first half went too slowly, and gave us a few too-obvious clues. In the second half, Krueger picks up the pace, delivering plenty of action. Krueger's writing is smooth and enjoyable, drawing me into the story at the same time as it played off Indian visions with modern forensic science.

Krueger takes a risk
By M Elliott "a reader from TX"
of alienating his loyal readers in this, his tenth entry in the Cork O'Connor series. He does it by putting a recurring character in mortal danger. That he has the guts to follow through is both reasonable and, in a way, predictable. Cork is no longer sheriff and his and Jo's children are growing up, soon to leave the nest. Although he supplements his income from Sam's Place with work provided by his PI license, his life could easily become stagnant. So Krueger reboots him (a favorite term used by the apparently non-techie writer) by forcing drastic changes in his life. As new possibilities and characters become available to Cork, many readers will, no doubt, be eager to see where they lead. Others may be so outraged (as some were by the ending of Mercy Falls) that they will swear to read--and buy--no more of Krueger's books.
Heaven's Keep, if it really exists, is in Wyoming, where most of this story takes place. Cork travels there first to search for a missing plane and second to search for answers to a carefully orchestrated conspiracy involving the plane and its passengers, an Arapaho Reservation and its people, and local law enforcement. Some of the characters seem so obvious that we, as readers, surely wonder how Cork can be so slow to catch on; on the other hand, Krueger provides enough red herrings that one is never completely sure that a good guy will not turn out to be a bad guy and vice versa. Something I've noticed about Krueger's handling of the denouement in the O'Connor series, though: Cork almost never has to take out the ultimate bad guy himself; a companion or someone who has trailed Cork without his knowledge uusally dispatches the villain, saving Cork from having two many kills on his conscience. The reasons for this, I assume, are: 1) to allow his hero to remain as unsullied as possible, and 2) to promote Krueger's own apparent position on gun control and violence (which he's passed on to Cork, though often unsuccessfully).
I was amused during Heaven's Keep when Cork, investigating a character's disappearance, sees on the man's bedside table, a book entitled STAGGERFORD. The existence of the book is not important, merely a minor bit of character development dropped into the story. But STAGGERFORD is a real book, by Jon Hassler, who was writer in residence at Mankato University in Minnesota a few years ago. I appreciated Krueger's nod to the very talented Hassler and to the excellent STAGGERFORD, which I once described as a "sweet dagger" of a novel.
I'm guessing that Krueger writes fairly rapidly, without agonizing too much over syntax and semantics, and the writing sometimes shows it. He often repeats himself in giving the reader information and in his use of favorite words, such as "slipped," which appears altogether too much. But while his writing can be uneven and he occasionally bogs down in dull description, Krueger manages to keep the narrative flowing well enough to keep the reader involved. His greatest asset is the character of Corcoran O'Connor. We feel we know Cork the way you know someone you admire and respect and want to know better; he appears to have depths unplumbed, so that we take up the next book in the series with the anticipation of visiting an old friend.
Admittedly, this is less a review of Heaven's Keep (others have done that already and better) than of the Cork O'Connor series, and in that vein, I say this: Thunder Bay is, in my opinion, Krueger's best yet. While improbable in many respects, the story of Thunder Bay provides background for another great character, Cork's old Indian friend, Henry Meloux, whose story is both moving and tragic. The story also reveals some of the heartbreaking history of our government's management of northern native American tribes in the early part of the 20th century. And the writing is better, as well--tighter, smoother, more economical (I suspect a better editor).
I predict that most readers who become involved with William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor series will be more than satisfied. Although I am sometimes annoyed enough to mentally edit while reading, I know I'm hooked by his characters and that I will be sad when Mr. Krueger finally decides Cork O'Connor has reached retirement age.
