Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Virgil Flowers, introduced in bestseller Sandford's Prey series (Invisible Prey, etc.), gets a chance to shine in his own vehicle and does so brightly. The thrice-divorced, affable member of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), who reports to Prey series hero Lucas Davenport, operates pretty much on his own as he tackles a murder wave that hits the little town of Bluestem. At the center of the story is old Bill Judd, hated by many who blame him for the Jerusalem artichoke scheme that made him rich and others poor. Other motives abound as do suspects—including a religious/survivalist cult headed by a felon or some of the many who participated in the long ago orgies Judd orchestrated. Flowers likes to stir things up and see what happens, and plenty does as the killings continue. Sandford keeps the reader guessing and the pages turning while Flowers displays the kind of cool and folksy charm that might force Davenport to share the spotlight more often. 500,000 first printing. (Sept.)

Bluestem, Minnesota, is a quiet town where everybody knows everyone elses business and murder is unheard of. But now someone is killing off a generation of old-timers, and Virgil Flowers, of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, is in town to find the person responsible. Eric Conger uses a careful, edgy baritone to build the suspense in this clever thriller. Congers reading and Sandfords tight and evocative dialogue render the characters as fully developed individuals, be they a washed-out trailer park mom, ex-con preacher of hate, or handsome Virgil Flowers himself. Fans of Sandfords Prey series will appreciate the tie-ins to that series and the occasional appearance of its hero, Lucas Davenport.
