divorced, hair way too long for a cop's had kicked around a while before
joining the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. First it was the army
and the military police, then the police in St. Paul, and finally Lucas
Davenport had brought him into the BCA, promising him, "We'll only give you the
hard stuff." He'd been doing the hard stuff for three years now but
never anything like this. In the small town of Bluestem, where everybody knows
everybody, a house way up on a ridge explodes into flames, its owner, a man
named Judd, trapped inside. There is a lot of reason to hate him, Flowers
discovers. Years ago, Judd had perpetrated a scam that'd driven a lot of local
farmers out of business, even to suicide. There are also rumors swirling
around: of some very dicey activities with other men's wives; of involvement
with some nutcase religious guy; of an out-of-wedlock daughter. In fact,
Flowers concludes, you'd probably have to dig around to find a person who
didn't despise him. And that wasn't even the reason Flowers had come to Bluestem.
Three weeks before, there'd been another murder two, in fact a
doctor and his wife, the doctor found propped up in his backyard, both eyes
shot out. There hadn't been a murder in Bluestem in years and now,
suddenly, three? Flowers knows two things: This wasn't a coincidence, and this
had to be personal. But just how personal is something even he doesn't realize,
and may not find out until too late. Because the next victim... may be
himself. Filled with the audacious plotting, rich characters, and
brilliant suspense that have always made his books "compulsively readable"
(Los Angeles Times), Dark of the Moon is vintage Sandford,
further proof that he "is in a class of his own" (The Orlando
Sentinel). ![]() Hardcover Paperback Audiobook Amazon.com (CD abridged) Amazon.com (CD unabridged) Audible.com (Download abridged) Audible.com (Download unabridged) Barnes & Noble (CD abridged) Barnes & Noble (CD unabridged) Books-A-Million (CD abridged) Books-A-Million (CD unabridged) IndieBound (CD abridged) IndieBound (CD unabridged) E-Book |
