Heaven's Keep by William Kent Krueger

Just when I thought this series could not get better,  I read the next book, immersing myself more in the characters and Native American culture.

When a small plane carrying Cork's wife and tribal members goes down in the Wyoming wilderness, Cork joins the search effort. Blame focuses on the pilot, who had been drinking heavily the night before the flight. Later, the pilot's wife approaches Cork, asking him to look into the allegations, and Cork returns to Wyoming to find the truth. What Cork finds is a web of lies and perhaps misdeeds done by the Northern Arapaho tribe, and, hope against hope, his wife is still alive.

This intricately plotted novel grabbed my heart at the possible death of Cork's wife. I couldn't believe Krueger would kill off a major character, so I hoped, along with Cork, for a miracle. Krueger again exceeded my expectations in this ninth book in the twenty-one-book series. The story is riveting, and the location shift from Minnesota to Wyoming is a welcome change. 

5/5 stars.
