Heat Lightning (The Virgil Flowers) Hardcover - 2008
by Sandford, John
- Used
Fresh from his 'spectacular' (Cleveland Plain Dealer)debut in Dark of the Moon, investigator Virgil Flowerstakes on a puzzling and most alarming case,in the new book from the #1 bestselling author.
John Sandford's introduction of Minnesota Bureau ofCriminal Apprehension investigator Virgil Flowers wasan immediate critical and popular success: 'laser-sharpcharacters and a plot that's fast and surprising' (Cleveland PlainDealer); 'an idiosyncratic, thoroughly ingratiating hero' (Booklist).Flowers is only in his late thirties, but he's been around theblock a few times, and he doesn't think much can surprise himanymore. He's wrong.
It's a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, and Flowersis in bed with one of his ex-wives (the second one, if you're keepingcount), when the phone rings. It's Lucas Davenport. There'sa body in Stillwater two shots to the head, found near a veteran'smemorial. 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 convincedhe is that someone's keeping a list, and that the list could havea lot more names on it. If he could only find out what connectsthem all . . . and then he does, and he's almost sorry he did.
Because if it's true, then this whole thing leads down a lotmore trails than he thought and every one of them is booby-trapped.
Filled with the audacious plotting, rich characters, and brilliantsuspense that have always made his books 'compulsivelyreadable' (Los Angeles Times), this is vintage Sandford.

About More Than Words Inc. Massachusetts, United States
More Than Words empowers youth who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. MTW believes that when system-involved youth are challenged with authentic and increasing responsibilities in a business setting, and are given high expectations and a culture of support, they can and will address personal barriers to success, create concrete action plans for their lives, and become contributing members of society. More Than Words began as an online bookselling training program for youth in DCF custody in 2004 and opened its vibrant bookstore on Moody St in Waltham in 2005 and added its Starbucks coffee bar in 2008. MTW replicated its model in the South End of Boston in 2011, thereby doubling the number of youth served annually.
