Virgil Flowers investigates a miracle — and a
murder — in the wickedly entertaining new thriller from the master of "pure
reading pleasure" (Booklist)
Pinion, Minnesota: a metropolis of all of seven hundred souls,
for which the word "moribund" might have been invented. Nothing ever happened
there and nothing ever would — until the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan:
"I'll Do What I Can") and a buddy come up with a scheme to put Pinion on the
map. They'd heard of a place where a floating image of the Virgin Mary had
turned the whole town into a shrine, attracting thousands of pilgrims. And all
those pilgrims needed food, shelter, all kinds of crazy things, right? They'd
all get rich! What could go wrong?
When the dead body shows up, they find out, and that's only the beginning
of their troubles — and Virgil Flowers' — as they are all about to
discover all too soon.
