Shock Wave
A billion-dollar superstore has its sights set on a small Minnesota river town for its next outlet. Two very angry groups want to stop it: local merchants, fearing for their businesses, and environmentalists, predicting ecological disaster. The protests are ignored, until a bomb goes off at the megastore’s Michigan headquarters—the first of a series of explosions.
The blasts are meant to inflict maximum damage and utmost fear. They do. Virgil Flowers has been enlisted to find out who’s behind the dangerous acts, but the answer he uncovers may be the biggest shock of all.

It kept moving and hid the villain well. I enjoyed it

Another great Virgil Flowers book. John Stanford is one of the greatest story tellers of our generation and the latest Virgil novel does nothing to decrease that reputation. Already eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next in the series.

John Sandford can't write them fast enough for me!

So love the Virgil Flowers series. Seems these books have more twists in them than others and are somewhat more cerebral than the Prey series almost closer to the Kidd books. This was a great read with interesting characters who came alive from the pages.

I tried really hard to drag this book out, but I couldn't put it down. The pieces of the puzzle trying to figure out how and who had the means, motive and opportunity to pull off so much pain and destruction. Virgil Flowers is probably the best written brilliant detective ever. He isn't miraculously brilliant, he has to work. Sandford doesn't give him epiphanies, but requires him to do real work, sometimes having to deal with mistakes. About 2/3 of the way through the book I knew they were looking in slightly the wrong direction, but not too far wrong and then it all fell together. I always want to believe Virgil is right, like I always want the women in his life to treat him right.
