About this title

Review:

"Flowers is a fun character, smart and honest with a healthy supply of cynicism and snark...a thoroughly engaging, suspenseful, satisfying story."--The Washington Examiner

"John Sandford is the master of his craft."--Dayton Daily News

"Sandford's exciting fourth thriller to feature Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agent Virgil Flowers. [His] biggest...case to date."--Publishers Weekly

"A Pandora's box of multiple murders, criminal behavior...and revelations of deviancy that go back generations. As usual, Sandford delivers a great mystery with action, suspense, humor, and, yes, sex. Virgil always gets his man, but he also gets the girl. Good reading."--Booklist

From the Back Cover:

One late fall Sunday in southern Minnesota, a farmer brings a load of soybeans to a local grain elevator. A young man hits him on the head with a steel bar, drops him into the grain bin, waits until he's sure he's dead, and then calls the sheriff to report the "accident."

The sheriff quickly breaks the kid down, but the next day he's found hanging in his cell. Remorse? The sheriff's not so sure, and is beginning to wonder if one of her own men is responsible. She has no choice but to bring in outside help in the form of Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension's Virgil Flowers. At first glance, the case seems fairly simply, but it quickly gets complicated as Virgil begins to uncover a multi-generation, multi-family conspiracy -- a series of crimes so monstrous that even the seasoned detective is dumbfounded. Virgil Flowers has seen plenty in his life, but even he has trouble making sense of this one -- and in figuring out what to do next.
