Synopsis:
From Publishers Weekly
Near the start of bestseller Sandford’s winning third thriller to feature Virgil Flowers of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (after Heat Lightning), Virgil gets a call while muskie fishing from his boss, Lucas Davenport (the hero of Sandford’s long-running Prey series). Lucas orders Virgil to look into the shooting death of Erica McDill, an ad agency exec from Minneapolis and a big supporter of the Democratic Party, who was staying at the Eagle Nest Lodge in nearby Grand Rapids. A talk with lodge owner Margery Stanhope turns up unusual details: Margery’s clientele is mostly lesbian; an all-female rock band is involved; guests who are so inclined can buy young men for an evening’s pleasure; and financial reasons could explain the murder. It’s a complicated case, but Virgil is up to the task, and, as always, he’s funny, smart and tough when he needs to be—and catnip to the ladies. 500,000 first printing. (Oct.)
