Opis

The fifth Virgil Flowers novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford
A billion-dollar superstore has its sights set on a small Minnesota river town for its next outlet. Two very angry groups want to stop it: local merchants, fearing for their businesses, and environmentalists, predicting ecological disaster. The protests are ignored, until a bomb goes off at the megastore's Michigan headquarters--the first of a series of explosions.The blasts are meant to inflict maximum damage and utmost fear. They do. Virgil Flowers has been enlisted to find out who's behind the dangerous acts, but the answer he uncovers may be the biggest shock of all.

Recenzje

[Sandford] s a thorough professional who knows exactly what he s doing. Whether you re new to Sandford or not, whether you ve ever read a Virgil Flowers novel or not, once you start Shock Wave, you ll read it straight through, quickly, compulsively, happy the whole time to be in such good hands. The Washington Post

Wry humor, a fully realized lead, and tense atmospherics...Sandford effortlessly conjures up the rhythms and personalities of a small town in one of his best outings to date. Publishers Weekly

If Shock Wave is any indication, Flowers has a better than even chance of equaling if not surpassing Davenport in the hearts and minds of Sandford s legion of readers. Bookreporter
