This book is the most fun I have had reading in a long time.'-The Huffington Post 'The biggest joys of this series are Flowers himself (his boss is Lucas Davenport from Sandford's Prey novels), the case of eccentric supporting characters, and the humorous dialogue.'- Shelf Awareness 'Pure reading pleasure.'- Booklist 'Sandford keeps one last surprise up his sleeve, and it's a doozy. PRAISE FOR THE VIRGIL FLOWERS SERIES 'Another brainy thriller from a prolific author, Deadline fulfills readers' expectations of Sandford's fiction: tense, smart and character-driven.'- Richmond Times-Dispatch 'Sandford's best Flowers book to date. 'You mess around with Sparkle,' Frankie told Virgil, 'you could get yourself stabbed.' 'She carries a knife?' 'No, but I do.' Forget a storm-this one's a tornado.

For another.she thinks Virgil's kind of cute. For one thing, her research into migrant workers is about to bring her up against some very violent people who emphatically do not want to be researched. Virgil's relationship with his girlfriend Frankie has been getting kind of serious, but when Frankie's sister Sparkle moves in for the summer, the situation gets a lot more complicated. Some of them are a great deal more extreme than others-as Virgil is about to find out. Traditional Chinese medicine prizes those parts for home remedies, and people will do extreme things to get what they need. Two large, and very rare, Amur tigers have vanished from their cage, and authorities are worried sick that they've been stolen for their body parts. The first storm comes from, of all places, the Minnesota zoo. The exceptional new thriller from the writer whose books are 'pure reading pleasure' ( Booklist ). Whenever you hear the sky rumble, that usually means a storm.
