Apprehension investigator Virgil Flowers was an immediate critical and popular
success: "laser-sharp characters and a plot that's fast and surprising"
(Cleveland Plain Dealer); "an idiosyncratic, thoroughly ingratiating
hero" (Booklist). Flowers is only in his late thirties, but he's been
around the block a few times, and he doesn't think much can surprise him
anymore. He's wrong. It's a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, and Flowers is in
bed with one of his ex-wives (the second one, if you're keeping count), when
the phone rings. It's Lucas Davenport. There's a body in Stillwater — two
shots to the head, found near a veteran's 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 someone's 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 he's almost sorry he did. Because if it's true, then this whole thing leads down a lot
more trails than he thought — and 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.
