Detective Virgil Flowers

Kathleen loves reading John Sandford, she reads everything he writes. And why not? He's a renown murder mystery writer who never disappoints.
But an additional reason Kathleen so enjoys his work is all the local and personal references in his murder settings. For example, this morning this paragraph on page 294 of "Deadline" brought a chuckle:

"If you're lying to us, we won't be talking about jail -- we'll be talking about the women's prison up in Shakopee. You stay away from him," Virgil said. "If he calls, tell him you ran away in the woods and had to walk home. Or hitchhike. Yell at him a little."

What fun.
