Bad Blood

One late fall Sunday in southern Minnesota, a farmer brings a load of soybeans to a local grain elevator. A young man strikes him on the head with — was it a steel bar? — then drops him into the grain bin, waits until he's sure the man is dead, and calls the sheriff to report the 'accident.' Suspicious, the sheriff calls in Virgil Flowers, who quickly breaks the kid down.

The next day the boy is found hanging in his cell. Remorse? Virgil isn't so sure. As he investigates, he begins to uncover a multi-generation, multi-family conspiracy — a series of crimes of such monstrosity that, though he's seen an awful lot in his life, even he has difficulty comprehending them.

More importantly, he has to figure out what to do.

Another brilliant Virgil Flowers thriller.
