Whenever you hear the sky rumble, that usually means a storm. In Virgil Flowersâ case, make that two. The exceptional new thriller from the writer whose books are âpure reading pleasureâ (Booklist).
Â
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 theyâve 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 othersâas Virgil is about to find out.
Then thereâs the homefront. Virgilâs relationship with his girlfriend Frankie has been getting kind of serious, but when Frankieâs 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 another…she thinks Virgilâs kind of cute.
    âYou mess around with Sparkle,â Frankie told Virgil, âyou could get yourself stabbed.â
    âShe carries a knife?â
    âNo, but I do.â
Forget a stormâthis oneâs a tornado.
