Virgil finds himself all over the place in this one. He is tasked with finding out who has stolen two (2) Amur Tigers from the Minnesota Zoo. At the same time, his girlfriend, Frankie, is mistakenly attacked and ends up in the hospital. Her sister, Sparkle, comes to town and stirs up trouble with migrant workers for her dissertation thesis. Virgil is spread thin with all of the leads he has to track down and all of the extra trouble that seems to follow him wherever he goes. One murder leads to two... Virgil has to rely upon Catrin, along with Shrake and Jenkins to wrap up both cases. The book was entertaining and did keep me interested. There is always something new to learn in a Virgil Flowers' book and this one was no different. I never knew there was black market for tiger parts. I have enjoyed all of the books in this series and this one did not disappoint.

I am giving this plastic version one less star. I prefer the heavier wooden version. But I have to say both versions do well at helping out in the bathroom. The human body was not meat for a traditional toilet. We were more meant for something like the Squatty Potty. When you use it over a week, you will understand why.
