Description
Virgil Flowers hunts a killer responsible for a strange string of murders in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford. On a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, Virgil Flowers gets a call from Lucas Davenport. A body has been found near a veterans' memorial in Stillwater with two shots to the head and a lemon in his mouth--exactly like the body they found two weeks ago. Working the murders, Flowers becomes convinced that someone is keeping a list--with many more names on it. And when he discovers what connects them all, he's almost sorry. Because if it's true, then this whole thing leads down a lot more trails than he thought it did--and every one of them is booby-trapped.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
Praise for Heat Lightning "Sandford returns to Flowers (and more than just a bit of Davenport, too) in Heat Lightning, and the ride's another wild one."--Richmond Times-Dispatch "Features a colorful protagonist quite distinct from Davenport, and contains the usual snappy dialogue and suspenseful action."--The Tennessean "A fun, breezy read."--The Post and Courier "[A] fast-paced thriller...Flowers is a disarming and sometimes charming investigator. This book will appeal to readers of Sandford's Prey series as well as fans of adventures like those by Lee Child."--Library Journal "Solid...Most readers will enjoy spending time in the company of the genial Flowers."--Publishers Weekly "The very last surprise...is a honey."--Kirkus Reviews
