ReviewsPRAISE 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. 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. Exhilaratingly professional work by both Virgil and his creator."-- Kirkus Reviews "Rich characters [and] the descriptions of small-town life, politics and corruption and the concurrent trails of action make for a fast and entertaining read."-- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 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.

SynopsisWhenever you hear the sky rumble, that usually means a storm. In Virgil Flowers' case, make that two. The exceptional new thriller from the writer whose books are "pure reading pleasure" ( Booklist ). The first storm comes from, of all places, the Minnesota zoo. 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. Traditional Chinese medicine prizes those parts for home remedies, and people will do extreme things to get what they need. Some of them are a great deal more extreme than others--as Virgil is about to find out. Then there's the homefront. 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. 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. For another...she thinks Virgil's kind of cute. "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., Whenever you hear the sky rumble, that usually means a storm. In Virgil Flowers' case, make that two.

Excellent detective thriller
Really good read, a page turner. Very original plot. John Sanford is one of the best authors around. I have to say, hate the language, but I'm sure I'm in the minority on that.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Escape Clause by John Sandford
My husband loves John Sandford books and Escape Clause did not disappoint. He loved it and will read it again. He highly recommends it and the seller. The twists and turns in the story kept him guessing right up to the end.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Virgil Flowers is worthy of a series!!
I would love to see the Virgil Flowers series developed into a series. I would be glued to every episode. I am picturing Virgil played by Timothy Olyphant. ❤️❤️❤️Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

really good read
Any Sandford novel is a really good read and well worth whatever it costs. Virgil Flowers is as compelling a protagonist as Sandford's other hero, Lucas Davenport---a good old boy in law enforcement.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
