Big Books & Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller

From the archives: William Kent Krueger on 'Lightning Strike'


Listen Later

Minnesota writer William Kent Krueger is a fan favorite, thanks largely to his series of crime novels featuring private investigator Cork O'Connor.


Krueger joined host Kerri Miller in Duluth earlier this week for a special spring edition of Talking Volumes. You’ll hear that conversation on Friday. So it’s only fitting that this week’s archive is Krueger’s last appearance on the Talking Volumes stage. He was at the Fitzgerald Theater in 2021 to discuss his book, “Lightning Strike.”


Guest:


  • William Kent Krueger is a prolific author, known best for his Cork O’Connor mysteries set in Northern Minnesota.
