About this ebook

The tenth Virgil Flowers novel by internationally bestselling author John Sandford

Class reunions: a time for memories. Good, bad and – as Virgil Flowers is about to find out – deadly.

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.

‘Along the way to the satisfying ending, Virgil displays the rough humor and rough justice that make him such an appealing character’ Publishers Weekly on Deep Freeze
 
‘A knowing portrait of small-town life layered into a very well plotted mystery. Virgil understands that, in small towns, no one ever outgrows high school... One of the very best novels in a superior series’Booklist (starred review) on Deep Freeze

‘Add a gripping storyline, a generous helping of exquisitely conceived characters and laugh-out-loud humor that produce explosive guffaws, not muted chuckles, and you’re in for the usual late-night, don’t-even-think-of-stopping treat when Flowers hits town’ Richmond Times-Dispatch on Deep Freeze

‘An outstanding novel’ Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Escape Clause

‘Perfect entertainment’ Kirkus Reviews on Escape Clause

Virgil Flowers is back in Trippton to investigate the murder of the woman who owned the town bank and whose body is found in the only part of the river that isn't frozen. As a favour to the Governor, since he's there, he's also asked to help track down another local woman so she can be served with cease and desist papers from a well known toy company. I don't want to give the story away so I will just say that as things progress Virgil manages to worry, rile up and anger a few of the townspeople which produces some unexpected responses. I really enjoy the sense of humour that runs through Sandford's storytelling in this, and his other series'. The book flows brilliantly, you will not want to put it down, and the characters are so well written it's like you really know them. I absolutely loved Deep Freeze and cannot wait for the next Virgil book.
