Holy Ghost

Virgil Flowers investigates a miracle--and a murder--in the wickedly entertaining new thriller from the master of "pure reading pleasure" (Booklist)

Pinion, Minnesota: a metropolis of all of seven hundred souls for which the word "moribund" might have been invented. Nothing ever happened there and nothing ever would--until the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan: "I'll Do What I Can") and a buddy come up with a scheme to put Pinion on the map. They'd heard of a place where a floating image of the Virgin Mary had turned the whole town into a shrine, attracting thousands of pilgrims. And all those pilgrims needed food, shelter, all kinds of crazy things, right? They'd all get rich! What could go wrong?

When the dead body shows up, they find out, and that's only the beginning of their troubles--and Virgil Flowers'--as they are all about to discover all too soon.

Virgil Flowers investigheaza un miracol - si o crima - in noul thriller distractiv si rau de la maestrul „placerii pure de lectura” (Lista de carti) Pinion, Minnesota: o metropola a celor sapte sute de suflete pentru care cuvantul „moribund” ar putea au fost inventate. Nimic nu s-a intamplat acolo si nimic nu s-ar intampla vreodata - pana cand primarul de fel (sloganul campaniei: „Voi face ceea ce pot”) si un prieten vor veni cu un plan pentru a pune Pinion pe harta.
