Publisher Description
Class reunions: a time for memories—good, bad, and, as Virgil Flowers is about to find out, deadly—in this New York Times bestselling thriller from John Sandford.
Virgil knows the town of Trippton, Minnesota, a little too well. A few years back, he investigated the corrupt—and as it turned out, homicidal—local school board, and now the town’s back in view with more alarming news: A woman’s been found dead, frozen in a block of ice. There’s a possibility that it might be connected to a high school class of twenty years ago that has a mid-winter reunion coming up, and so, wrapping his coat a little tighter, Virgil begins to dig into twenty years’ worth of traumas, feuds, and bad blood. In the process, one thing becomes increasingly clear to him. It’s true what they say: High school is murder.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sandford's fine 10th Virgil Flowers novel takes the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agent back to the little Mississippi River town of Trippton, the setting for 2014's Deadline. A fisherman has discovered the ice-covered body of banker Gina Hemmings in the river near the outflow from the Trippton sewage plant. Meanwhile, the governor asks Virgil to locate Jesse McGovern, who supposedly has been manufacturing obscene Barbie Dolls "Barbie Os" in Trippton, though no one in the town has heard of her. Identifying the killer (who is known to the reader) in the Hemming case isn't any easier for Virgil than tracking down Jesse and stopping the production and sale of Barbie Os. Along the way to the satisfying ending, Virgil displays the rough humor and rough justice that make him such an appealing character.
Customer Reviews
Deep Freeze
Not the best book I read of John’s but still a good read with several funny lines. Nice summer read. Look forward to the next Flowers book.
Deep Freeze
I've read every book in the series and this was the first disappointment. No depth and no character development.
Deep Freeze, High Cost
I have bought every John Sandford novel in the iPad format since I got my first iPad. Can’t do this one at $18.99. Kindle is only $14.99, and I’ve never paid this much for an electronic book, with no explanation why. Almost think this is a mistake, but I want to read it so Amazon/Kindle it will be
