That "effin" Flowers, as both his friends and his enemies refer to
him, is back in a superior police procedural/thriller from John
Sandford. This novel is much darker than Sanford's previous books. For
one thing, the lines between the good guys and the bad guys are not as
sharply drawn. Things are not all black and white. It will perhaps leave
you, as it did Flowers (and me) questioning some serious moral truths
about the nature and shape of justice. Flowers ends up taking a position
on this issue which you may or may not agree with depending on your own
views. Everything is resolved in the end but Flowers has to make some
choices which leave him unhappy. Flowers' boss Lucas Davenport and his
two co-workers Shrake and Jenkins are back to help him out and it is
interesting to get a view of Davenport different from how he presents
himself in his own series of novels. Along the way we meet a new
character, Sheriff Duke, who I hope either Davenport or Flowers will run
into again. I downloaded my copy at midnight and ended up not being
able to put it down. This is a great read.
