About this ebook
Desolation Mountain: A Novel by William Kent Krueger: Conversation Starters
Cork O’Connor has a hunch his family is going to be harmed soon if he does not stop his personal investigations. A plane crashes within the vicinity of Desolation Mountain in Aurora, Minnesota. Former sheriff O’Connor learns that a senator died in the crash, just before he was to attend an important town meeting. O’Connor and his son Stephen sense foul play. Their Native American instinct tells them there are bad forces involved. Soon, some goons are bullying the townspeople. Some people are kidnapped; even their dogs are harmed.
Desolate Mountain is the latest novel by New York Times bestselling author William Kent Krueger. Other bestselling books in the O’Connor series include Windigo Island and Tamarack County.
