Publisher's summary

The thrilling new novel in the number one New York Times - bestselling series.

In Israel, a man clutching a backpack searches desperately for a boat. In Minnesota, Virgil Flowers gets a message from Lucas Davenport: You're about to get a visitor. It's an Israeli cop, and she's tailing a man who's smuggled out an extraordinary relic - a copper scroll revealing startling details about the man known as King Solomon.

Wait a minute, laughs Virgil. Is this one of those Da Vinci Code deals? The secret scroll, the blockbuster revelation, the teams of murderous bad guys? Should I be boning up on my Bible verses?

He looks at the cop. She's not laughing. As it turns out, there are very bad men chasing the relic, and they don't care who's in the way or what they have to do to get it. Maybe Virgil should start praying.

Critic reviews

“One of the best in that series so far...[it is] exciting, complex and funny.... The beauty of Sanford's writing is that the narrative of the book is told in perfect harmony with Flowers' personality. The descriptions of the plot and the locale of the story have the same laconic quality as Virgil's tone and speaking habits. You seem to be in Virgil's mind and thoughts as the narrative unfolds...Storm Front is an enjoyable and relaxing read. Sandford knows his characters, his locale and his plot. There are no missteps. It is entertaining reading all the way.” (Huffington Post)

“With another gritty storyline and appealing characters, Sandford has penned another winner, one sure to shoot to the top of the best-seller lists.” (Richmond Times-Dispatch)

“Clever, quirky...unusually good-natured intrigue distinguishes this outing.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

I laughed out loud!!

This book is a slight departure from Virgil's usual mystery sdventure. It's a great romp and made me laugh out loud. Even his characters made me smile. A must read if you are a Flowers fan

That F'ing Flowers

Never thought I would like a character more than Lucas Davenport but Virgil Flowers is an everymans character and I can't wait for the next installment.

Love the balance of suspense and humor.

I've been on a John Sandford marathon finishing the Lucas Davenport Prey series and now moving the the Virgil Flowers series. I love all of them, but this one is my favorite due to the quirky humor. Laughing out loud.

Conger’s acting has improved

Conger’s acting has definitely improved over the years. He’s never been bad, per se. Now he’s just much better. He uses different voices now to represent different characters.

Fun listen

Another fun listen, always enjoy the Virgil Flowers stories and this one was different in that no one is killed. Very interesting plot twists from others we have listened to.

Fast paced story. Narration a bit bland.

Interesting story line with lots of twists. You don't usually get an ancient artifact story in rural Minnesota. Plenty of interesting characters.

This is the third Virgil Flowers audiobook I've listened to. I just don't like Eric Conger as much as the narrator of Sandford's Prey series. The narration is just average. If you're from Minnesota, both Conger and Ferrone's occasional hatchet jobs on local place names will cause a chuckle.
