About this eBook
Virgil Flowers investigates a miracle--and a murder--in 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 would--until the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan: "I'll Do What I Can") and a buddy come up with a scheme to put Pinion on the map. They'd 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? They'd all get rich! What could go wrong?
When the dead body shows up, they find out, and that's only the beginning of their troubles--and Virgil Flowers'--as they are all about to discover all too soon.

An sad, ludicrous indictment of a "justice system" so ridiculously gynocentric it will make your stomach turn. I could only make it to about halfway through this slow, dripping-with-misandry-and-pretty-proud-of-it excuse for a book; after that, my disgust and outrage were at such levels I didn't know if I wanted to assault a female, a cop or both ... I settled for a refund, deletion of the utter waste of tablet storage, and a review. Needless to say, I WON'T be reading any more of this fish-happy trash.

I have truly have enjoyed all the 29 Prey novels and the Virgil Flowers novels as well. The characters are down-to-earth and seem like just everyday people. Once I start reading one of these books I have a hard time putting it down and then the next thing I know, I'm finished. Then I am wanting more.

I love Sandfords writing, Davenport being my favorite. But I read that sify book he did and it was excellent and I see he has another out. Will always be reading and waiting for the next one.
