![]() ![]() It's 1963 and Liam O’Connor, Cork's father, is Aurora’s sheriff. Lightning Strike takes place at a very pivotal time in Cork's life, the summer before he turns thirteen. Now Krueger has written a prequel to the entire series which gives me a great opportunity to jump in before it all began. ![]() Having read and greatly enjoyed Krueger's two stand alone novels, Ordinary Grace and This Tender Land, I knew I wanted to tackle his long running Cork O'Connor series. Lightning Strike (Cork O'Connor #0) by William Kent Krueger "Windigo Island," number fourteen in his Cork O’Connor series, was released in August 2014. "Ordinary Grace," his stand-alone novel published in 2013, received the Edgar Award, given by the Mystery Writers of America in recognition for the best novel published in that year. His last five novels were all New York Times bestsellers. His work has received a number of awards, including the Minnesota Book Award, the Loft-McKnight Fiction Award, the Anthony Award, the Barry Award, the Dilys Award, and the Friends of American Writers Prize. His protagonist is Cork O’Connor, the former sheriff of Tamarack County and a man of mixed heritage-part Irish and part Ojibwe. Krueger writes a mystery series set in the north woods of Minnesota. He’s been married for over 40 years to a marvelous woman who is an attorney. He currently makes his living as a full-time author. After that, he logged timber, worked construction, tried his hand at freelance journalism, and eventually ended up researching child development at the University of Minnesota. Raised in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, William Kent Krueger briefly attended Stanford University-before being kicked out for radical activities. In this masterful story of a young man and a town on the cusp of change, beloved novelist William Kent Krueger shows that some mysteries can be solved even as others surpass our understanding. Together, father and son face the ultimate test of choosing between what their heads tell them is true and what their hearts know is right. ![]() In the shadow of his father’s official investigation, Cork begins to look for answers on his own. But when Cork stumbles upon the body of a man he revered hanging from a tree in an abandoned logging camp, it is the first in a series of events that will cause him to question everything he took for granted about his hometown, his family, and himself.Ĭork’s father, Liam O’Connor, is Aurora’s sheriff, and it is his job to confirm that the man’s death was the result of suicide, as all the evidence suggests. In the summer of 1963, it is the whole world to 12-year-old Cork O’Connor, its rhythms as familiar as his own heartbeat.

Horn-bill plumage is described as "drab," lacking the brilliant colors of relatives such as the kingfishers (Alcedinidae) and rollers (Coraciidae). Males are always larger and stouter than females but the greatest dimorphism often occurs in bill length with males having up to 30% longer bills. Hornbills vary tremendously in size and shape, starting with the large, long-legged southern ground-hornbill ( Bucorvus leadbeateri) weighing up to 13.2 lb (6 kg), and going down to the 0.26 lb (120 g) red-billed dwarf hornbill ( Tockus camurus). The oversized, slightly decurved bills topped by sometimes outlandish casques shaped as bumps, ridges, or horns make hornbills an unforgettable component of any landscape. Hornbills are among the most flamboyant birds of their habitat. Finally, hornbills have unusual kidneys in that they are two-lobed instead of three, and the Z chromosome, one of a pair of sex chromosomes, is oversized. All hornbills lack carotid arteries as well as the short feathers under the wings that cover the primary and secondary flight feathers of other birds. ![]() These include being blessed with long, sweeping eyelashes on their upper lids and a fusion of the first two cervical vertebrae to provide support for large bills. They found that ground-hornbills were probably the earliest form.Īll 54 hornbill species display unique anatomical features that clearly identify their affinities. Huebner and colleagues conducted detailed molecular studies of the two groups. The distinction between Bucerotinae and Bucorvinae is based on unique feather lice and anatomical and behavioral differences such as a greater number of neck vertebrae and the lack of nest-sealing behavior in the Bucorvinae. ![]() The exceptions are the terrestrial ground-hornbills, which fall within the subfamily Bucorvinae. All but two species are classified within the subfamily Bucerotinae. All birds of these families nest in tree holes, but only hornbills seal the entrance to their cavities.Īs of 2001, science recognizes 54 species of hornbills grouped within 14 genera and two subfamilies. This classification is based primarily on similarity in foot and jaw morphology, and a prolonged retention of quills by nestlings, which gives them a prickly "pin-cushion" look. Most modern taxonomic treatments place hornbills within the order Coraciiformes together with their closest relatives: the hoopoe (Upupidae) and the woodhoopoes and scimitarbills (Phoeniculidae). In his classic work The Hornbills published in 1995, Alan Kemp wrote "Trying to decide what other groups of birds are most closely related to hornbills is not quite so easy." Time has not made that decision any easier the classification of these bizarre, large-billed birds is still debated.

As soon as I got home I made my mind up to choose natural management. I couldn’t think straight so she told me to ring her after the weekend when I’d had time to process it all. I spoke to the nurse and she gave me 3 options – natural, medical or surgical management. I hated myself, blaming myself and my body. Then she confirmed there was no heartbeat and that the baby was still measuring 7 weeks. Lying there I felt like my whole world was still. I felt sick walking in there, all my hopes pinned on the baby being fine. I rang the EPU the following day and got an appointment for an internal scan. I was still hoping my dates where incorrect and maybe they’d made a mistake seeing a heart beat on the first scan, maybe it was still too small to see. I still had all the pregnancy symptoms – sickness, tender breasts, tiredness etc. A few hours later I got the report for the hospital, which said no heart beat had been seen. I sat in the car and hoped that the small size of the baby was just because I had got my dates wrong. She said she’d do a report for the hospital and that I should ring the early pregnancy unit (EPU) for an appointment. ![]() She held my hand and told me she thought something was wrong. ![]() That was the moment I knew something had happened. We walked in to the scan room and the lady started scanning for the baby. I went with my partner and my mum, so that she could see her grandchild. On 4th March I had my second early reassurance scan. I walked away with a scan picture of my baby, which I will cherish for the rest of my life. She asked me to come back the following week to measure again. I was so happy, but the baby was measuring 6-7 weeks and I should’ve been 7 weeks. I decided to go for a private early reassurance scan and on 26th February I saw my baby for the first time – a little blob on the screen, with a flutter of a heartbeat. This was 2 weeks after I found out my sister was pregnant too! We worked out the dates and we were only 5 days apart, which made us both so excited. I felt every emotion when I saw the test result – shock, happiness and scared. I had a positive pregnancy test after being told when I was younger that I would need help with IVF when I started trying for a baby. On 6th February 2020 my life changed forever.
