Krueger switches to first-person POV for this seventh in the series. Cork O'Connor has resigned as sheriff (after all that flirting with it over the last 3 books, sigh) and is now a PI. His old friend Henry gets suddenly ill and asks Cork to find his son, a man Henry has never seen except in visions and who is now in his 70s. With a bit of internet sleuthing, Cork finds a likely candidate - a Canadian millionaire who is now a weird recluse a la Howard Hughes. A long chunk of the book tells Henry's story as a young man and how he came to meet the girl. As usual, there is an excellent sense of place; Henry's story is sad and interesting. I am becoming less and less thrilled with the character of O'Connor, who seems to talk a lot about how dear his family is but then skips out in order to solve someone else's problems. But - an interesting story, good pacing, and the change in POV was nice.
