Rough Country

The third gripping Virgil Flowers thriller by internationally bestselling author John Sandford.

A LAND WITHOUT LAW. A KILLER WITHOUT MERCY.

While competing in a fishing tournament in a remote area of northern Minnesota, Virgil Flowers gets a call from his old friend Lucas Davenport to investigate a murder at a nearby resort, where a woman has been shot while kayaking. The resort is for women only: a place to relax, get fit, commune with nature, and sometimes get to know each other a little better.

As Flowers begins investigating, he finds a web of connections between the people at the resort, the victim, and some local women – notably a talented country singer. And the more he digs, the more he discovers a multitude of motivations for murder: jealousy, greed, anger, and blackmail.

And then Flowers learns that this is not the first death at this particular resort. Someone else died there a year ago. And there's about to be a third, definitely related death, any time now.

And as for the fourth . . . well, Virgil better hope he can catch the killer before that happens.

Because it could be his own.
