Bloody genius
\"Virgil Flowers will have to watch his back--and his mouth--as he investigates a college culture war turned deadly ... At the local state university, two feuding departments have faced off on the battleground of science and medicine. Each carries their views to extremes that may seem absurd, but highly educated people of sound mind and good intentions can reasonably disagree, right? Then a renowned and confrontational scholar winds up dead, and Virgil Flowers is brought in to investigate ... and as he probes the recent ideological unrest, he soon comes to realize he's dealing with people who, on this one particular issue, are functionally crazy. Among this group of wildly impassioned, diametrically opposed zealots lurks a killer, and it will be up to Virgil to sort the murderer from the mere maniacs\"-- Provided by publisher.

Holy ghost
\"Wheatfield, Minnesota, is a metropolis of all six hundred souls and change for which the word \"moribund\" might have been coined. Nothing ever happened there, and nothing ever would, until the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan: \"I'll Do What I Can\") and his precocious teenage buddy come up with a scheme to put Wheatfield on the map. Should something dramatic occur-say, an apparition of the Virgin Mary miraculously appearing at the local Catholic church-the whole town would be turned into a shrine, attracting thousands of pilgrims. And all those pilgrims needed food, shelter, all kinds of crazy things. The town would get rich! What could possibly go wrong? Then the shootings begin. And as they-and Virgil Flowers-are about to discover, that's only the beginning of their troubles ...\"--Front jacket flap.
