Synopses & Reviews
Fresh from his spectacular (Cleveland Plain Dealer) debut in Dark of the Moon, investigator Virgil Flowers takes on a puzzlingand most alarmingcase, in the new book from the #1 bestselling author.
John Sandfords introduction of Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator Virgil Flowers was an immediate critical and popular success: laser-sharp characters and a plot thats fast and surprising (Cleveland Plain Dealer); an idiosyncratic, thoroughly ingratiating hero (Booklist). Flowers is only in his late thirties, but hes been around the block a few times, and he doesnt think much can surprise him anymore. Hes wrong.
Its a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, and Flowers is in bed with one of his ex-wives (the second one, if youre keeping count), when the phone rings. Its Lucas Davenport. Theres a body in Stillwatertwo shots to the head, found near a veterans 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 someones 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 hes almost sorry he did.
Because if its true, then this whole thing leads down a lot more trails than he thoughtand every one of them is booby-trapped.
Filled with the audacious plotting, rich characters, and brilliant suspense that have always made his books compulsively readable (Los Angeles Times), this is vintage Sandford.
