Extremists

Detective Virgil Flowers, one of Kathleen’s very favorite detectives, wasn’t featured in the latest John Sandford thriller “Extreme Prey," but no matter: Kathleen zipped through the pages almost non-stop, loving every turn, and savoring each delicious passage.

The handoff. Kathleen's done, John will take his lap.

She’s got all the Sandford novels in her lending library, of course, so it wasn’t long before fellow fan and good neighbor John Gerken was invited by to check out the latest hardback.
John’s a recent laser surgery graduate, so for the first time he’ll be reading a book without lenses, a cappella, as it were. He’s loving his new visible world.
We don’t know if he’ll turn the Sandford pages as fast as Kathleen did, but if he does, Stan offered him free use of his paperback biography “Eisenhower, Soldier and President” by Stephen Ambrose.
Despite a couple rainy days ahead and with his spouse away in Iowa, John still didn’t think he’d be needing it.
