Deep Freeze
Virgil knows the town of Trippton, Minnesota, a little too well. A few years back, he investigated the corrupt — and as it turned out, homicidal — local school board, and now the town's back in view with more alarming news: A woman's been found dead, frozen in a block of ice.
There's a possibility that it might be connected to a high school class of twenty years ago that has a mid-winter reunion coming up, and so, wrapping his coat a little tighter, Virgil begins to dig into twenty years' worth of traumas, feuds, and bad blood. In the process, one thing becomes increasingly clear to him. It's true what they say: High school is murder.

John Sandford
John Sandford writes crime fiction that moves with the restless energy of the streets it describes. His novels are known for their sharp observation, moral tension, and an unsettling closeness to real violence, the kind that feels sudden and personal rather than theatrical. Long before his books filled bestseller lists, Sandford trained his eye as a journalist, learning how to notice the small, telling details that reveal who people really are under pressure. That background still shapes his fiction, where every scene feels grounded in lived experience.
