Virgil Flowers investigates a miracleand a murderin the wickedly
entertaining new thriller from the master of pure reading pleasure (Booklist)
Pinion,
Minnesota: a metropolis of all of seven hundred souls, for which the
word moribund might have been invented. Nothing ever happened there
and nothing ever woulduntil the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan: Ill
Do What I Can) and a buddy come up with a scheme to put Pinion on the
map. Theyd heard of a place where a floating image of the Virgin Mary
had turned the whole town into a shrine, attracting thousands of
pilgrims. And all those pilgrims needed food, shelter, all kinds of
crazy things, right? Theyd all get rich! What could go wrong?
When
the dead body shows up, they find out, and thats only the beginning of
their troublesand Virgil Flowersas they are all about to discover
all too soon.

Praise
Praise for Holy Ghost
Holy smoke, Holy Ghost is a hot one! . . . The dialogue is sometimes biting and always witty, and the entire book is at once wicked and sublime.Booklist (starred review)
Wickedly enjoyable . . . Sandfords trademark sly humor shines throughout.Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Praise for Deep Freeze
Along the way to the satisfying ending, Virgil displays the rough
humor and rough justice that make him such an appealing character. Publishers Weekly
The ride, as always in a Sandford novel, surprises and delights.Add a
gripping storyline, a generous helping of exquisitely conceived
characters and laugh-out-loud humor that produce explosive guffaws, not
muted chuckles, and youre in for the usual late-night,
dont-even-think-of-stopping treat when Flowers hits town. Richmond Times-Dispatch
