Join us for an engaging, hour-long moderated discussion where Krueger will share insights into his writing process, inspirations and story development. Following the presentation, he will be available for book signing. Round Table Bookstore will be onsite with a selection of Krueger’s books available for purchase. Doors will open at 6pm for registered attendees.
NOTE: If you are bringing a guest, be sure to mark that in your registration and list their name.
Krueger's newest book Spirit Crossing is the 21st volume in the Cork O'Connor mystery series, which follows a former Chicago police officer as he cracks cases and navigates the terrain of northern Minnesota. Krueger has also achieved success with several standalone novels. The 2013 novel Ordinary Grace won the prestigious Edgar Award from The Mystery Writers of America and This Tender Land (2019) remained on the New York Times Bestsellers list for 16 weeks. More recently his standalone novel The River We Remember (2023) debuted at #5 on New York Times Bestsellers list and was nominated for Goodreads Reader's Choice award for Favorite Mystery & Thriller.
This event is funded in part by the Friends of the Library.
