Product Overview

Whenever you hear the sky rumble, that usually means a storm. In Virgil Flowers case, make that two. The exceptional new thriller from the writer whose books are pure reading pleasure (Booklist).

The first storm comes from, of all places, the Minnesota zoo. Two large, and very rare, Amur tigers have vanished from their cage, and authorities are worried sick that theyve been stolen for their body parts. Traditional Chinese medicine prizes those parts for home remedies, and people will do extreme things to get what they need. Some of them are a great deal more extreme than othersas Virgil is about to find out.

Then theres the homefront. Virgils relationship with his girlfriend Frankie has been getting kind of serious, but when Frankies sister Sparkle moves in for the summer, the situation gets a lot more complicated. For one thing, her research into migrant workers is about to bring her up against some very violent people who emphatically do not want to be researched. For anothershe thinks Virgils kind of cute.

You mess around with Sparkle, Frankie told Virgil, you could get yourself stabbed.
She carries a knife?
No, but I do.

Forget a stormthis ones a tornado.
