Escape Clause
John Sandford
When two rare, breathtaking tigers vanish from a zoo, Virgil Flowers is pulled into a case that’s as urgent as it is unusual. What begins as a missing-animal mystery quickly reveals a darker scheme—someone is determined to get the tigers before they’re harmed, harvested, or sold. As Virgil follows the trail through quirky criminals and unexpected alliances, the investigation tests his instincts, his patience, and the thin line between law and survival. With John Sandford’s trademark brisk pacing, dry humor, and character-driven momentum, Escape Clause delivers a satisfying blend of suspense and wit as Virgil races to stop a crime that’s already moving faster than the truth.
Holy Ghost
John Sandford
A small town’s plan to lure pilgrims turns volatile when a murder shatters the carefully staged celebration, pulling investigator Virgil Flowers into a case that spirals far beyond local suspicion. As a mysterious “heavenly” presence sparks rumors and unrest, Flowers must navigate a web of faith, fraud, and fear—while a random shooter leaves the community reeling. Sandford delivers his trademark fast pace and sharp, character-driven storytelling, blending dark humor with high-stakes suspense. At its core, Holy Ghost explores how belief can be weaponized, how communities protect their own, and how truth emerges when violence refuses to stay contained.
