Krueger writes a mystery series set in the north woods of Minnesota. His protagonist is Cork O’Connor, the former sheriff of Tamarack County and a man of mixed heritage—part Irish and part Ojibwe. 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 last seven novels were all New York Times bestsellers.
This program was arranged by SELCO and made possible with money from Minnesota’s Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund and the people of Minnesota for Library Legacy activities and by the Friends of the Wabasha Public Library. Much appreciation to the Friends Group for providing and serving refreshments and Kennedy Tent Rental for providing the chairs for the Wm. Kent Krueger presentation.
