Sandford, John - Virgil Flowers 05 - Shock Wave
Description:
The fifth Virgil Flowers novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford
A
billion-dollar superstore has its sights set on a small Minnesota river
town for its next outlet. Two very angry groups want to stop it: local
merchants, fearing for their businesses, and environmentalists,
predicting ecological disaster. The protests are ignored, until a bomb
goes off at the megastore’s Michigan headquarters—the first of a series
of explosions.
The blasts are meant to inflict maximum damage and utmost fear. They do. Virgil Flowers has been enlisted to find out who’s behind the dangerous acts, but the answer he uncovers may be the biggest shock of all.
Praise
“[Sandford]’s a thorough professional who knows exactly what he’s
doing. Whether you’re new to Sandford or not, whether you’ve ever read a
Virgil Flowers novel or not, once you start Shock Wave, you’ll read it straight through, quickly, compulsively, happy the whole time to be in such good hands.”—The Washington Post
“Wry
humor, a fully realized lead, and tense atmospherics…Sandford
effortlessly conjures up the rhythms and personalities of a small town
in one of his best outings to date.”—Publishers Weekly
“If Shock Wave
is any indication, Flowers has a better than even chance of equaling if
not surpassing Davenport in the hearts and minds of Sandford’s legion
of readers.”—Bookreporter
