The resort is for women only: a place to relax, get fit, recover from plastic surgery, commune with nature, and sometimes get to know each other a little better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As Flowers begins investigating, he finds a web of connections between the people at the resort, the victim, and some local women: notably a talented country singer. And the more he digs, the move he discovers a multitude of motivations for murder: jealousy, greed, anger, and blackmail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And then Flowers learns that this is not the first death at this particular resort. Someone else died there, a year ago. And that there's about to be a third, definitely related death, any time now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And as for the fourth... well, Virgil better hope he can catch the killer before that happens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Because it could be his own. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e* * * Praise for John Sandford and the Virgil Flowers novels * * *\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ‘Along the way to the satisfying ending, Virgil displays the \u003cb\u003erough humor and rough justice\u003c\/b\u003e that make him such an appealing character’ \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly \u003c\/i\u003eon \u003ci\u003eDeep Freeze\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e ‘A knowing portrait of small-town life layered into a very well plotted mystery.
