Flowers is only in his late thirties, but he’s been around the block a few times, and he doesn’t think much can surprise him anymore. He’s wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, and Flowers is in bed with one of his ex-wives (the second one, if you’re keeping count), when the phone rings. It’s Lucas Davenport. There’s a body in Stillwater—two shots to the head, found near a veteran’s memorial. And the victim has a lemon in his mouth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExactly like the body they found last week.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe more Flowers works the murders, the more convinced he is that someone’s 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 he’s almost sorry he did.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause if it’s true, then this whole thing leads down a lot more trails than he thought—and every one of them is booby-trapped.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilled with the audacious plotting, rich characters, and brilliant suspense that have always made his books “compulsively readable” (\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e), this is vintage Sandford.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780399155277\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sandford, John","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.00","offer_id":47953808752817,"sku":"SB-0399155279-C4","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/heat-lightning","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
