Purgatory Ridge by William Kent Krueger
When mayhem descends on a tiny logging town, former sheriff Cork O'Connor is called upon to investigate a murder in this wonderful page-turner (The Denver Post) that prolongs suspense to the very end (Publishers Weekly) by Edgar Award-winning author William Kent Krueger. Not far from Aurora, Minnesota (population 3,752), lies an ancient expanse of great white pines, sacred to the Anishinaabe tribe. When an explosion kills the night watchman at wealthy industrialist Karl Lindstrom's nearby lumber mill, it's obvious where suspicion will fall. Former sheriff Cork O'Connor agrees to help investigate, but he has mixed feelings about the case. For one thing, he is part Anishinaabe. For another, his wife, a lawyer, represents the tribe. Meanwhile, near Lindstrom's lakeside home, a reclusive shipwreck survivor and his sidekick are harboring their own resentment of the industrialist. And it soon becomes clear to Cork that danger, both at home and in Aurora, lurks around every corner...William Kent Krueger is the author of eighteen Cork O'Connor novels, including Desolation Mountain and Sulfur Springs, as well as the New York Times bestselling Ordinary Grace, which won the Edgar Award for best novel. His family and he live in the Twin Cities. WilliamKentKrueger.com is his website.
