A maverick colleague of Lucas Davenport’s in John Sandford’s bestselling Prey series, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator Virgil Flowers was given free rein in the action-oriented crime thriller, Dark of the Moon. Now the t-shirt-wearing, hippie-haired cop takes on a puzzling—and most alarming—case in Heat Lightning.
Virgil thinks he’s seen it all, but he’s wrong. One hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, he gets a call from Lucas Davenport. A body has been found near a veteran’s memorial in Stillwater—two shots to the head…and a lemon wedged in the mouth. Exactly like the body they found last week.
The lemon, a flag to attract attention, points back to the Vietnam war. Someone’s trying to send a message, and Virgil’s convinced that the list of victims may have a lot more names on it.
Then, with the execution of an ex-cop, the game shifts into high gear. Virgil is led on a wild chase from the Twin Cities to the Red Lake Indian Reservation to a heavy-equipment lot in Wyoming before he finds the connection. When he does, he’s almost sorry he did. Because if it’s true, then this whole thing leads down many more trails than he thought—and everyone of them is booby trapped.
