DARK OF THE MOON

Bluestem is a typical Midwest town, wedged between miles of cornfields near the southwest corner of Minnesota. A string of bizarre killings brings Virgil Flowers, of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, to lead the investigation. DARK OF THE MOON is a thriller filled with twists and turns, yet the plot moves with the comfortable feel of rural America. The perfect match for John Sandford's words, narrator Eric Conger delivers dialogue with a countrified cadence while maintaining an edge of suspicion and speculation. As the body count climbs, the investigation intensifies, and Conger's crisp delivery keeps listeners fully engaged. Well-written, well-read, this is Virgil Flowers at his best.
