Escape Clause (John Sandford)

Virgil Flowers #9

Whenever you hear the sky rumble, that usually means a storm. In Virgil Flowers' case, make that two of them. Welcome to another exceptional thriller from the writer whose books are 'pure reading pleasure' (Booklist)

The first storm comes from, of all places, the Minnesota Zoo. Two large, and very rare, Amur tigers have vanished from their cage, and authorities are worried sick that they've been stolen to be sold for body parts. Traditional Chinese medicine prizes the parts for home remedies, and people will do extreme things to get what they need. Some of those people are a great deal more extreme than others -- as Virgil is about to find out.

Then there's the homefront. Virgil's relationship with his girlfriend Frankie has been getting serious, but when Frankie's sister Sparkle moves in for the summer, the situation gets complicated. For one thing, her research into migrant workers is about to bring her up against some very violent people who emphatically do not want to be researched.

For another'she thinks Virgil's cute. 'You mess around with Sparkle,' Frankie told Virgil, 'you could get yourself stabbed.' He asked: 'She carries a knife?' 'No, but I do.' Forget a storm ' this one's a tornado.
