Over the course of three novels, Virgil Flowers has become one of the most beloved new characters in crime fiction. "An investigator who can be as analytical as Nero Wolfe and as tough as everybody's favorite Boston bad ass, Spenser" (Booklist); and now Virgil's got a real problem on his hands. One Sunday in late fall in southern Minnesota, a farmer brings a load of soybeans to a local grain elevator--and a young man hits him on the head with a T-ball bat, drops him into the grain bin, waits until he's dead (if the blow doesn't kill him, surely the smothering grain will), and then calls the sheriff to report the "accident."
