A wealthy local man, Bill Judd Sr., who was hated by many in the town of Bluestem, Minnesota is murdered, This murder comes on the heels of two other murders and both are friends of Bills. Detective Virgil Flowers is convinced it is someone with an axe to grind as he investigates. He is told by the sheriff's sister that her family has suffered financial setbacks due to Judd. The sheriff wants George Feur, ex-con turned preacher, arrested for the murder. Flowers keeps coming back to Judd's fabled Man on the Moon celebration where one woman died mysteriously. Another great thriller from Sanford. This one will keep you guessing until the end. Flower's is very convincing in his investigation, making it a read Sanford fans will love.
I like the new character - Virgil Flowers. Smart, quick, logical, gets it done. He's not anything like the dark sullen Davenport, although Davenport has mellowed over the years. I hope to see this character again. John hasn't done his best work in the past when he strayed from Davenport or Kidd, but he did great on this one.
