Iron Lake

Praise for

Iron Lake

“A harrowing, unpredictable journey into the heart of the forest primeval where evil not only waits for you, but calls your name. A truly remarkable first novel; read it with someone watching your back.”

—David Housewright, Edgar Award–winning author of Practice to Deceive

“As deep and wonderful as the Minnesota forest from which the story springs . . . even the most minor characters are fully—almost perfectly—drawn.”

—Jeremiah Healy, Shamus Award–winning author of The Only Good Lawyer

“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)

“Cork O’Connor is the kind of character that will haunt your imagination long after the story ends.”

—Margaret Coel, author of The Ghost Walker

“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)

This one was always for Diane.

Because she always believed.
