I read a mystery last year that was set on an Indian reservation up in the Lake of the Woods vicinity of northern Minnesota (actually closer to Canada, but still considered part of U.S.) and somehow I forgot to write it down! Of course now I want to read other books by this author and can't for the life of me remember who he is. Can anyone help me? I've tried Bookbrowser, but none of the names on the lists of Native American detectives, Minnesota or Manitoba mysteries seemed right.

TIA,
Vicki Nesting

It's probably Wayne Johnson. Kent Krueger also writes about the Boundary
Waters area.

"Iron Lake" and "Boundary Waters" by William Kent Krueger are set in that
area and feature Cork O'Connor, a half Irish/half Native American detective.
Steve Hamilton's mysteries are also set in Minnesota.

Vicki,

I wonder if it might be William Kent Krueger? He's written 3 mysteries
in a series set in northern Minnesota -- Iron Lake, Boundary Waters, and
Purgatory Ridge -- and the detective is part Irish/part Native American.

Are you thinking of Tim O'Brien's IN THE LAKE OF THE WOODS? Otherwise, William Kent Krueger's IRON LAKE might be a possibility.

Michigan.

That's it!!!!! I checked the shelves and Wayne Johnson was the author I was looking for. You saved me from having to prowl the whole fiction section trying to find him again!

A thousand thanks,
