Bloody Genius by John Sandford is one of his Virgil Flowers' books and is quite amusing. Really like it because the plot centers around the murder of a U of MN Professor in one of the U of MN many libraries. And he describes stuff at the U of MN I am somewhat familiar with even though I have not been around that area since late 1991.
I got my JD from the U of MN Law School (Class of 1989) and worked in their Law Library from 1988-1991. And also worked as a Student Co-Director of the Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners (L.A,M.P.) for the Minnesota Correctional Facility-- Stillwater.
Have read just about all of the John Sandford Lucas Davenport and/or Virgil Flowers featuring novels.
