Heat Lightningby John Sandford
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Fresh from his aspectaculara (Cleveland Plain Dealer) debut in Dark of the Moon, investigator Virgil Flowers takes on a puzzlingaand most alarmingacase, in the new book from the #1 bestselling author. John Sandfordas introduction of Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator Virgil Flowers was an immediate critical and popular success: alaser-sharp characters and a plot thatas fast and surprisinga (Cleveland Plain Dealer); aan idiosyncratic, thoroughly ingratiating heroa (Booklist). Flowers is only in his late thirties, but heas been around the block a few times, and he doesnat think much can surprise him anymore. Heas wrong. Itas a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, and Flowers is in bed with one of his ex-wives (the second one, if youare keeping count), when the phone rings. Itas Lucas Davenport. Thereas a body in Stillwateratwo shots to the head, found near a veteranas memorial. And the victim has a lemon in his mouth. Exactly like the body they found last week. The more Flowers works the murders, the more convinced he is that someoneas keeping a list, and that the list could have a lot more names on it. If he could only find out what connects them all . . . and then he does, and heas almost sorry he did. Because if itas true, then this whole thing leads down a lot more trails than he thoughtaand every one of them is booby-trapped. Filled with the audacious plotting, rich characters, and brilliant suspense that have always made his books acompulsively readablea (Los Angeles Times), this is vintage Sandford. Review:"At the start of bestseller Sandford's solid second thriller to feature officer Virgil Flowers of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (after Dark of the Moon), a gunman shoots Bobby Sanderson as he's walking his dog one night in Stillwater, Minn., then places a lemon in the dead man's mouth. Sanderson's killing is one in a series, and Flowers soon discovers that all the victims served together in Vietnam. When Flowers learns that Vietnamese firing squads stuck lemons in the mouths of their human targets, he pursues leads in the local immigrant community, where he hooks up with the attractive daughter of a radical professor who'd written a paper about Agent Orange. Eventually, he settles on the owner of a security company involved with the upcoming Republican National Convention as his prime suspect. While the less than credible plot builds to a highly unlikely resolution, most readers will enjoy spending time in the company of the genial Flowers." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:In this vintage Sandford thriller, Virgil Flowers takes on a puzzling--and most alarming--case. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator has been around the block a few times, and he doesn't think much can surprise him anymore. He's wrong.
