"A thrilling new Virgil Flowers novel with plenty of suspense and exciting action."

With a keen ability to reason out irregularities in an investigation, Virgil is soon pursuing a different analysis of the situation. This does not sit well with the local authorities who are set on killing the murdering teens on sight rather than bringing them in to face justice. With such a volatile situation, the explosive resolution is not surprising. What is surprising, though, is what actually started the crime spree.
John Sandford is a master storyteller and his Virgil Flowers series is just as brilliantly written as his Prey series starring Virgil's boss, Lucas Davenport. I've read every book in both series and never been disappointed in the plotting or the character development. MAD RIVER is another excellent addition to Sandford's long list of bestsellers.
Book Summary
Bonnie and Clyde, they thought. And what’s-his-name, the sidekick. Three teenagers with dead-end lives, and chips on their shoulders, and guns.
The first person they killed was a highway patrolman. The second was a woman during a robbery. Then, hell, why not keep on going? As their crime spree cuts a swath through rural Minnesota, some of it captured on the killers’ cell phones and sent to a local television station, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator Virgil Flowers joins the growing army of cops trying to run them down. But even he doesn’t realize what’s about to happen next.
