His brother is Leif Enger, who is also an author.

I think I will probably read his first novel first, Undiscovered Country, when I finally get around to checking him out. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed The High Divide.

I know I've looked up C.J. Box a couple of times already, and I keep him in the back of my mind in case I ever tire of reading books set in countries other than the U.S. Although I probably ought to concede that Wyoming might just as well be another country to this born and bred Minnesota girl.
