ReviewsPraise for Deadline   "Stellar . . . Sandford is an accomplished and amusing storyteller, and he nails both the rural characters and terrain as well as he has skewered urban life in past installments."- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Praise for Storm Front   "John Sandford has the Midas touch. [ Storm Front is] exciting, complex and funny all the way through. Virgil is a unique character [and] the beauty of Sandford's writing is that the narrative of the book is told in perfect harmony with Flowers' personality . . . Entertaining reading all the way." - The Huffington Post, Praise for Storm Front   "John Sandford has the Midas touch. [ Storm Front is] exciting, complex and funny all the way through.

  • JOHN SANDFORD DEADLINE

    One of Sandford's best characters is Virgil Flowers. In this books, he handles several cases at once. plus he still has his love of fishing. There is killings, mysteries, and humor. I read every Flowers book and I am never disappointed.
