A murder list with widening connections

Set in a humid Minnesota summer, *Heat Lightning* begins with a pair of murders marked by the same unusual detail: each victim has a lemon in his mouth. Investigator Virgil Flowers works the case after a call from Lucas Davenport, and the possibility of a longer list of targets broadens the investigation. The victims’ shared connection points toward several trails, turning the central question from who is killing them to what links them—and what that discovery might mean. The premise combines a recurring crime-scene clue with an investigation whose reach expands as Flowers pieces together the murders.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Thriller readers interested in a murder investigation built around repeated crime-scene clues.
  • Readers who enjoy cases that widen as investigators uncover connections among victims.
  • Fans of Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport.

Book overview

Virgil Flowers hunts a killer responsible for a strange string of murders in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford.

On a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, Virgil Flowers gets a call from Lucas Davenport. A body has been found near a veterans' memorial in Stillwater with two shots to the head and a lemon in his mouth--exactly like the body they found two weeks ago.

Working the murders, Flowers becomes convinced that someone is keeping a list--with many more names on it. And when he discovers what connects them all, he's almost sorry. Because if it's true, then this whole thing leads down a lot more trails than he thought it did--and every one of them is booby-trapped.
