The superstore chain PyeMart has its sights set on a Minnesota river town, but two groups want to stop it: local merchants, fearing for their businesses, and environmentalists, predicting ecological disaster. The protests don't seem to be slowing the project, through, until someone decides to take matters into their own hands.

Who's behind the bombs, and exactly how far are they prepared to go to get their point across Virgil Flowers of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Investigation is racing to find out before more people get killed.
