There's tension brewing between the owner of the town's lumber mill and the local Anishinabee tribe. He wants to clear some great white pines in Our Grandfathers, sacred land for the tribe.

This was another great addition to the series. It was my bedtime when I hit those last 75-100 pages...which only meant that I had to stay up late to finish it. As with the previous books the author starts out slowly, like a Sunday afternoon pleasure ride, only to increase the speed so subtly you almost don't notice it...until you find yourself racing towards the end, holding on for dear life. I'm growing quite attached to Cork O'Connor, his family, and Aurora, Minnesota so I'm looking forward to

RATING: ★★★★
"Not far from the small town of Aurora (population 3,752) lies an ancient two-hundred-acre expanse of great white pines, sacred to the Anishinaabe and known to them as Minishoomisag (Our Grandfathers).
Wealthy industrialist Karl Lindstrom does not have a reputation as a sensitive environmentalist, and some members of the Anishinaabe tribe are concerned about the proximity of the trees to his lumber mill. So when an explosion at the mill results in the death of a night watchman, it's o ...more

Another great addition to the Cork O'Connor series. This book kept me on my toes and I wasn't entirely sure who the culprit was until near the end. I picked up on a couple of clues, but couldn't quite piece it together until the story moved further on. It's wonderful to see Jo and Cork working as a team and I'm starting to get the sense they are going to be a great partnership for the series going forward.
The star of this book for me though was little Stevie O'Connor. ...more

Purgatory Ridge is the third book in the Cork O’Connor series. This book is about a feud between a local lumber mill owner and the Anishinaabe tribe over a forest known to the Natives as “Our Grandfathers.” The tension rises when outsiders enter the fray. The outsiders are eco-terrorists They decide it is a good idea to set off explosions at the mill. A Native is killed, and law enforcement focuses their search for other involved on the tribe.

I listened to this one and the narrator did a marvelous job of making Cork and others come to life for me.
This was a very interesting book with Cork trying to find his wife Jo and Stevie who were kidnapped along with another woman and her son. At first you believe who the kidnappers are and their motivation, but things are not always what they seem.
You might need a tissue for the ending. It had some heartfelt moments in it. I am giving this 5 out of 5 stars.
