"Krueger has moved to the head of the crime fiction class with this one."

– Chicago Sun-Times

“Cork O'Connor...is one of those hometown heroes you rarely see...someone so decent and true, he might restore his town's battered faith in the old values.”

– The New York Times Book Review

"Smart and satisfying."

– Booklist

“Copper River, like each of the previous entries in the Cork O'Connor series, is a riveting thriller rich in character, incident, insight, textured plotting, and evocative prose that captures the lore and rhythms of life -- and the pain and sadness of death -- in America's heartland. It's a novel to be savored, and one that makes the reader eager for the next installment. William Kent Krueger may just be the best pure suspense novelist working today.”

– Bill Pronzini, author of the Nameless Detective series and Blue Lonesome

“In Copper River William Kent Krueger draws a powerful portrait of lost children caught in a culture that is indifferent to them. From the very first chapter, a scene of harsh beauty and shocking malevolence, we're on that train, and we don't get off until he decides to let us go. Krueger has an ability to pit the splendor of the environment against the violent and dangerous world of human beings. There is spirit in all things, he says. Be aware that nature can and will exact its own vengeance. Don't misuse power, and don't misjudge the natural world. Always remember that 'in the absence of wind, the grass still trembles.”

– Judith Guest, author of Ordinary People and The Tarnished Eye

"Believable, complicated characters and strong writing. . . . Sympathetic and moving."

– Minneapolis Star Tribune

“This series gets darker and more elegantly written with every book.”
