The thrilling new novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series.

In Southeast Minnesota, down on the Mississippi, a college board meeting is coming to a finish. The board chairman announces that all of those other meeting will end up being closed, due to personnel problems. “Issues” is appropriate. The proposal up for a vote before them is usually whether to authorize the killing of a local reporter. The vote is certainly four to one in favor.

Meanwhile, not far away, Virgil Flowers is helping out a friend by looking into a dognapping, which appears to be turning into something much bigger and uglier-a team of dognappers supplying medical labs-when he gets a contact from Lucas Davenport. A murdered body continues to be found-and the victim is a local reporter . .
