Lucas Davenport has more than enough on his plate with the Black Hole Case (see Field Of Prey) so Virgil’s allowed even more freedom to poke around. That means he is still in the area when things that would get a higher priority investigation wise begin to happen. Like a murder. Like an arson. As other events take precedence the theft of dozens and dozens of dogs of all types becomes a secondary storyline while Virgil works a case where folks are being killed and more.
The eighth book in the Virgil Flowers series that began
with Dark
of the Moon is another good one. As usual, the language can be a bit
much for some readers and there is plenty of sexual innuendo as Virgil works
cases in multiple storylines. Readers are cautioned that if Field
Of Prey has not been read it -should
be read before this book as there are numerous direct references to it and
several of them are detailed enough to be considered spoilers.
Beyond that, if you have read this series before you know
what you are getting into and Deadline: A Virgil Flowers Novel is
another good one. While it does not break new ground in the character, it does deliver
exactly what one would expect from this very enjoyable series. If not familiar,
make sure you read the earlier ones starting with Dark of the Moon so that you
get the often dark humor at work in this series.
