Class reunions: a time for memories—good, bad, and, as Virgil Flowers is about to find out, deadly—in this New York Times bestselling thriller from John Sandford. 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.

"VIrgil Flowers is an original creation. He has his flaws that are apparent but he is dogged in his pursuit. The humor relieves building tension and adds to the character. Deep Freeze is one of his best. Although you know the murderer right away there are many questions and twists. Very enjoyable read. "
— Richard (4 out of 5 stars)
“Add a gripping story line, a generous helping of exquisitely conceived characters, and laugh-out-loud humor that produce explosive guffaws, not muted chuckles, and you’re in for the usual late-night, don’t-even-think-of-stopping treat when Flowers hits town.”
— Richmond Times-Dispatch“A knowing portrait of small-town life layered into a very well plotted mystery. Virgil understands that, in small towns, no one ever outgrows high school, and he uses that knowledge to unravel both mysteries by dissecting the relationships and economic realities in the town. One of the very best novels in a superior series.”
— Booklist (starred review)“Along the way to the satisfying ending, Virgil displays the rough humor and rough justice that make him such an appealing character.”
— Publishers Weekly“An exhilarating tale…Nerve-wracking.”
