Jim Crocker, the overnight deputy who was supposed to guard the prisoner but who killed him instead, didn't kill himself, since despite a death scene staged to suggest that he ate his gun, it’s obvious to a trained investigator like Virgil Flowers that Crocker was enjoying the favors of a female visitor only a few seconds before he departed this life. But the case turned darker the night that Coakley arrested her suspect, whose apparent suicide in his cell is pretty clearly murder as well. The wounds that were supposed to have disabled Flood had obviously been inflicted after death, and Bobby all but confessed to Warren County Sheriff Lee Coakley. An open-and-shut case of murder leads Virgil Flowers, of Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension ( Rough Country, 2009, etc.), to a twisted, century-old conspiracy.ĭespite his efforts to pass off Jacob Flood’s death as an accident, it’s no secret that Robert Tripp, 19, killed the farmer with a baseball bat.
