Heat Lightning
Fresh from his “spectacular” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) debut in Dark of the
Moon, investigator Virgil Flowers takes on a puzzling—and most alarming
—case, in the new book from the #1 bestselling author.
John Sandford’s introduction of Minnesota Bureau of Criminal
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.
Personal Review: Heat Lightning (Virgil Flowers) by John
Sandford
Having enjoyed all the Lucas Daveport "prey" novels I had wondered if I
could except a new hero. Well, It wasn't hard. Mr. Flowers had all the
regular guy traits anyone could want. Fisherman, beer drinker, womenizer
(a little) and a good detectives mind. The story line takes you back to the
end of VietNam and the debacle that took place there. Then back to today
with some killings that replicated the type of Viet Cong murders that were
carried out.To add to a lot of the plot it seems a Asian women seems to
enter his life at this strange time as he works this case of murders. I am
sure you will enjoy it he is not Lucas Davenport but he is a good old boy
with a good strong mind.
