Escape Clause (A Virgil Flowers Novel Book 9)

Whenever you hear the sky rumble, that usually means a storm. In Virgil Flowersâ€™ case, make that two. The exceptional new thriller from the writer whose books are â€œpure reading pleasureâ€ (Booklist).
Â
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 theyâ€™ve been stolen for their body parts. Traditional Chinese medicine prizes those parts for home remedies, and people will do extreme things to get what they need. Some of them are a great deal more extreme than othersâ€”as Virgil is about to find out.

Then thereâ€™s the homefront. Virgilâ€™s relationship with his girlfriend Frankie has been getting kind of serious, but when Frankieâ€™s sister Sparkle moves in for the summer, the situation gets a lot more 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 anotherâ€¦she thinks Virgilâ€™s kind of cute.

Â Â Â Â â€œYou mess around with Sparkle,â€ Frankie told Virgil, â€œyou could get yourself stabbed.â€
Â Â Â Â â€œShe carries a knife?â€
Â Â Â Â â€œNo, but I do.â€

Forget a stormâ€”this oneâ€™s a tornado.
