I have recently finished reading all of the Lucas Davenport Prey books, so I was familiar with Virgil Flowers. It was nice, though, in this book, that I got a lot more insight into Virgil’s parents, his marriages and divorces, his fashion (rock and roll t-shirts), and his curb appeal to the ladies. There is a difference of police styles between Lucas and Virgil. Lucas is more aggressive, and not afraid to use his fists and guns and Virgil is more laid back and relaxed – he doesn’t always carry his gun. But, they do compliment each other. I am very much looking forward to reading the rest of the Virgil books.
