**Don't miss John Sandford's brand-new thriller Ocean Prey out now**
The third Virgil Flowers novel by internationally bestselling author John Sandford.
While competing in a fishing tournament in a remote area of northern Minnesota, Virgil Flowers gets a call from his old friend Lucas Davenport to investigate a murder at a nearby resort, where a woman has been shot while kayaking. The resort is for women only: a place to relax, get fit, commune with nature, and sometimes get to know each other a little better.
As Flowers begins investigating, he finds a web of connections between the people at the resort, the victim, and some local women: notably a talented country singer. And the more he digs, the more he discovers a multitude of motivations for murder: jealousy, greed, anger, and blackmail.
And then Flowers learns that this is not the first death at this particular resort. Someone else died there a year ago. And there's about to be a third, definitely related death, any time now.
And as for the fourth . . . well, Virgil better hope he can catch the killer before that happens.
Because it could be his own.
