Publisher's summary

Virgil Flowers kicked around for a while before joining the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. First it was the army and the military police, then the police in St. Paul, and finally Lucas Davenport brought him into the BCA, promising him, "We'll only give you the hard stuff."

He's been doing the hard stuff for three years now, but never anything like this.

In the small town of Bluestem, a house way up on a ridge explodes into flames, its owner, a man named Judd, trapped inside. There are a lot of reasons to hate him, Flowers discovers. In fact, he concludes, you'd probably have to dig around to find a person who doesn't despise Judd.

And that isn't even why Flowers came to Bluestem. Three weeks before, there'd been another murder, two, in fact, a doctor and his wife, the doctor found propped up in his backyard, both eyes shot out. Flowers knows two things: this wasn't a coincidence, and it had to be personal.

But just how personal is something even he doesn't realize, and may not find out until too late. Because the next victim may be himself.

Critic reviews

“A book that will keep you turning pages, guessing, and completely immersed - and engrossed - in whatever Sandford wants to throw at you. It’s a great ride, and Sandford proves that sometimes it’s not the character, it’s not the series, it’s the writer.” (The Post)

“An adrenaline rush peppered with laugh-out-loud moments." (Booklist)

Love Virgil Flowers!

Another page turner by John Sandford! Lots of twists and turns in the story, with little comedy thrown in. Eric Conger did a great narration!

Good read -

It has been a long time since I read Sandford, and I have never listened to his work before. I liked the book and the narrator. Nice job ~

Very engaging

I really enjoyed this book. It’s the first Virgil Flowers I’ve read and I like him so much more than Lucas Davenport. I’m not sure why, but I am on to the next in the series

Just as good as the first Terminal List book!

If you love the first three books, you’ll love the six book just as much. There has been no drop off in action, tension, or thrill! Right up there with Mitch Rapp, and the Gray Man series of books.
