ILLEGAL CONSUMPTION OF NARCOTIC DRUGS, PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES, AND THEIR ANALOGUES IS HARMFUL TO HEALTH, AND THEIR ILLICIT TRAFFICKING IS PROHIBITED AND ENTAILS LIABILITY ESTABLISHED BY LAW. THE NOVEL IS A FINALIST FOR THE INTERNATIONAL THRILLER WRITERS AWARD. THE AUTHOR IS A FORMER FBI AGENT. A SERIAL KILLER IS HUNTING FOR SURVIVORS AFTER A LIGHTNING STRIKE. Seven years ago, Andy's schoolteacher was struck by lightning—and she survived. But there were scars on the skin, similar to the branches of the mythical Yggdrasil tree. Since then, she has been plagued by flashes of light, blackouts, and a feeling as if something had broken in her on that fateful day. To escape the bad weather, she moves to the dry and sunny desert of Arizona, hoping to leave the past behind. And that's when the bodies of women with the same traces of electric discharge on their skin begin to be found all over the country. Journalists call the creepy drawings "lightning colors." Former FBI agents Linnea Ren and Adan Rio are taking over the investigation. The deeper they delve into the case, the more obvious it becomes: the killer does not choose his victims by chance. He's looking for survivors. As the detectives try to figure out the killer, Andy realizes: She's the next target. HER "LIGHTNING FLOWERS" ARE AN INVITATION TO AN EXECUTION. . . "J. Todd Scott is something worthwhile." — Michael McGarrity, New York Times bestselling author of "Well Written." ― New York Journal of Books "Addictive as the best crime series." ― Newsweek "A Powerful new Voice in Modern Western Crime Fiction." ― Craig Johnson, New York Times bestselling author "Scott writes beautifully, thinking through the intriguing scenes that those who focus only on thrills dream of. But patient readers will understand and appreciate Scott's "finale." ― Booklist.
