Krueger, a New York Times bestselling author, has earned numerous literary accolades, including the Edgar Award for Best Novel. His gripping Cork O’Connor series, set in the north woods of Minnesota, features a compelling protagonist of mixed Irish and Ojibwe heritage. His standalone novels, Ordinary Grace and This Tender Land, have captivated readers worldwide, with This Tender Land spending nearly six months on the New York Times bestseller list. His latest novel, The River We Remember, released in September 2023, was an instant New York Times, Washington Post, and USA Today bestseller.
