Product Description
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.

 A excellent cops and killer book November 29, 2008
I think I have read most of John Sandfords books. I have not been disappointed yet.
 Great book - Loved it! November 28, 2008
I have read all of John Sandford's books and really enjoyed this one as well.
Vintage Sandford---even without Lucas Davenport in the starring role November 26, 2008
John Sandford NEVER fails to please and his invention of Virgil Flowers is certainly no exception. The trick of keeping Davenport in the background works beautifully too. John, if you read these things, thanks so very much. You are a formidable writer fully worthy of your success.
none November 24, 2008
I am looking forward to another series, Virgil Flowers promises to be as
good reading as the Lucas Davenport series.
like cashews November 22, 2008
Once you start, you can't stop... reading. Sanford is a master. The lean and mean style breezes by. Virgil is the horny detective, never a woman he doesn't like. The story flies at you, tho you can pick out the bad guys, the book does not disappoint. A winner.
