Heat lightning : a Virgil Flowers novel ; bk 2
(Book)

Flowers is only in his late thirties, but heś been around the block a few times, and he doesnt́ think much can surprise him anymore. Heś wrong. Itś a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, and Flowers is in bed with one of his ex-wives (the second one, if youŕe keeping count), when the phone rings. Itś Lucas Davenport. Thereś a body in Stillwater--two shots to the head, found near a veteranś memorial. And the victim has a lemon in his mouth. Exactly like the body they found last week. The more Flowers works the murders, the more convinced he is that someoneś keeping a list, and that the list could have a lot more names on it. If he could only find out what connects them all . . . and then he does, and heś almost sorry he did. Because if itś true, then this whole thing leads down a lot more trails than he thought--and every one of them is booby-trapped.
