Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers join forces to track
down a ruthless killer who will do whatever it takes to keep the past buried, in
this latest thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford.
Doris Grandfelt, an employee at an accounting firm, was
brutally stabbed to death... but nobody knew exactly where the crime took place.
Her body was found the next night, dumped among a dense thicket of trees along
the edge of an urban park, eight miles east of St. Paul, Minnesota. Despite her
twin sister Lara Grandfelt's persistent calls to the Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension, the killer was never found.
Twenty years later, Lara has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Confronted
with the possibility of her own death, she's determined to find Doris's killer
once and for all. Finally taking matters into her own hands, she dumps the
entire investigative file on every true-crime site in the world and offers a $5
million reward for information leading to the killer's arrest. Dozens of
true-crime bloggers show up looking for both new evidence and clicks,
and Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are called in to review anything that
might be a new lead.
When one of the bloggers locates the murder weapon, Lucas and Virgil begin
to uncover vital details about the killer's identity. But what they don't know
is the killer lurks in plain sight, and with the true-crime bloggers blasting
every clue online, the killer can keep one step ahead. As the nation maneuvers
the detectives closer to the truth, Lucas and Virgil will find that digging up
Doris's harrowing past might just get them buried instead.
