Praise for Purgatory Ridge
“The kind of work that is all too rare in the suspense genre, a book that combines a first-class plot with excellent writing . . . A wonderful page-turner.” —The Denver Post
“Krueger’s page-turner . . . opens with a bang . . . The plot comes full circle as credibly flawed central characters find resolution . . . Krueger prolongs suspense to the very end.” —Publishers Weekly
Praise for Boundary Waters
“Krueger follows up his sure-handed debut with an equally effective second thriller featuring former Chicago cop, now former local sheriff Cork O’Connor and his adventures in the warm-spirited little town of Aurora, Minnesota . . . Krueger’s writing, strong and bold yet with the mature mark of restraint, pulls this exciting search-and-rescue mission through with a hard yank.” —Publishers Weekly
“Cork remains a sprightly, intriguing hero in a world of wolves, portages, heavy weather, and worrisome humans . . .” —Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Iron Lake
“A fresh take . . . Krueger makes Cork a real person. . . . And the author’s deft eye for the details of everyday life brings the town and its peculiar problems to vivid life.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Krueger’s debut offers wonderful characters...realistic details and political deals do not slow a tense, fast pace punctuated with humor and surprise in a book that is sure to appeal to fans of Nevada Barr and Tony Hillerman.” —Booklist (starred review)
