This is a Virgil Flowers novel. Sandford fans will know him as "That f--ing Flowers". Flowers is a investigator for the Minnesota BCA and reports to Lucas Davenport, another of Sandford's recurring characters. In this novel, Virgil is on the trail of an Indiana Jones type character. An ancient artifact has been smuggled out of Israel by a local preacher/archeologist. Virgil tries to track down the criminal, but complicating the matter are all the other characters wanting to buy or retrieve the artifact including a Mossad agent, a collector from Texas, and a local red neck with 5 kids by 5 different men who is trying to seduce Flowers. It doesn't take much effort. At one point in this book, Davenport comments that he is confused by all the different characters after this artifact. Me too, Lucas. Too many characters!
