Holy Ghost

Virgil Flowers investigates a miracle... and a murder... in the wickedly entertaining new thriller from the master of pulse-pounding thrillers.

Pinion, Minnesota: a huge city of all of seven hundred folks who define the phrase `small town'. Nothing has ever happened in Pinion and nothing ever will... until the mayor of sorts (campaign promise: `I'll Do What I Can') comes up with a scheme to put Pinion on the map.

He's heard of a place where a floating image of the Virgin Mary turned the whole town into a shrine, attracting thousands of curious people and making the townsfolk rich overnight. Why not stage a prank in Pinion and do the same? No one gets hurt and everyone gets rich. What could go wrong?

And then a dead body shows up. It turns out that lots can go wrong with a get-rich-quick scheme like this one... and lots will.

It'll take everything Virgil Flowers has to put things to right - before someone else dies.
