My friend the librarian always immediately puts me on the list whenever a new John Sandford book is coming out, so I got my hands on it almost as soon as it was delivered to the library a couple months ago.

Yeah, it may be my favorite Virgil Flowers so far, too. That scene when all those dog rescue women descended on the auction had me whooping out loud.

And that venal school board - talk about the "banality of evil". Really a great read!
