This was my first John Sandford and Virgil Flowers book. I was not terribly impressed. Virgil seems to be the wishful image of the author - countless girls/women flock to him, he's extremely laid back ("cool"), but, of course, performs great under pressure. Oh well.

The story was not bad at all, and moved at a good pace, but the main character annoyed me, plus I found it hard to believe that the police apparently seemed ignorant of modern-day gadgets.

Several Vietnam vets are being killed in the present day and Virgil Flowers is charged with discovering the link between them.
