William Kent Krueger is the award-winning author of the popular Cork O’Connor mysteries. In Purgatory Ridge, Krueger crafts a riveting tale that has ex-sheriff O’Connor on the case after a heated town debate turns deadly.
The local Anishinaabe Indian tribe is furious to discover that Karl Lindstrom’s lumber mill is after a grove of trees sacred to tribal lore. So when the mill gets bombed, killing a man, the tribe is blamed. But O’Connor has a different theory.

Across Grace Cove from Karl Lindstrom’s home lives John LePere, alone after losing his family to the waters of Lake Superior. As a young man, he was the sole survivor of the sinking of the Alfred M. Teasdale, which went down on its final voyage along with John’s younger brother Billy. The scar of that journey has left John deeply wounded. A stranger who read LePere’s story in a magazine comes to town with tales of possible sabotage and bankrolls LePere’s dives to the wreckage of the ship.
Suddenly Cork is thrown into a much more immediate disaster: the kidnapping of his wife and son along with Lindstrom’s wife and son. Local law enforcement and the FBI search for connections between the threats of the Eco-Warrior and the claims of the kidnapper with little success. Cork isn’t sheriff any more, but his instincts and knowledge of the land and the people guide him.
Through this journey, Kent Krueger treats us to descriptions of the land and the reservation that are lyrical. He introduces us to characters such as Henry Meloux, the Midewiwin to whom Cork turns in times of trouble; to Hell Hanover, blackmailing newspaperman; to Wally Shanno, who inherited Cork’s job as sheriff after an incident years before forced a recall election; to the Anishinaabe people, of whom Cork is part. Alongside the beauty, Krueger describes the anger, the bitterness, and the dark forces that drive men to perform acts of rage, which seem so much more despicable next to the magnificence of nature.
As questions swirled like the smoke plaguing Aurora during the dry summer, the tension ramped up. When flames engulfed the kidnapped victims, I sat on the edge of my seat and stayed there. I audibly gasped at that moment when the certain realization hit that brought the entire book together. It was a surprise, and I did not put the book down until the very end when beauty once again poked its nose from the charred earth.
This is my second reading of the book, this time on audio. Narrator David Chandler does not hurry his way through either the quiet passages or the tense descriptions of nature’s fury nor the anger of men. He is a strong, steady voice recanting Cork O’Connor’s story and the wider tale of the Anishinaabe people. Definitely recommended.
