Editorial Review

Right from the start of John Sandford’s Rough Country, the prolific, bestselling author sets the tone of what’s in store: an action-packed page-turner in which Virgil Flowers, Lucas Davenport’s lady killer protégé, faces off with a psychopath like none he’s ever seen.

To take a break from his high-pressure job with the State Bureau of Criminal Apprehension—and his remarkably active social life—Virgil Flowers is indulging in one of his many passions: fishing in the Great North Woods. Too bad the only thing he catches is an urgent call to investigate the murder of a woman at a nearby, nearly all-female resort. Erica McDill, shot to death while out kayaking, was a tough, high-powered businesswoman with a lot of enemies, a fact that leads Virgil down one path of inquiry. Until, that is, he learns of another death, seemingly unrelated, the year before. But could there be a connection between the victims and the women at the resort?

The arrows of suspicion point in many directions—jealousy, blackmail, greed and anger—as, amid a town’s rising fears, Virgil struggles to reel in a relentless killer who may be as smart—or, impossible to imagine—smarter than him.
