Synopsis

News travels fast in the small state of Vermont. In this tight-knit society, police officers and investigators proudly maintain a kinship that transcends the boundaries of their jurisdictions. When an unidentified body is found in the peaceful town of Brattleboro, local police and the Vermont Bureau of Investigation both appear at the scene.But before investigator Joe Gunther can begin to gather evidence of murder, a family emergency sends him to his hometown, where the lives of his mother and brother have suddenly been threatened. Gunther reaches out to a network of police officers who know him only by name and reputation as he attempts to discover the source of this imminent danger.Meanwhile, his investigative team chases an elusive murderer who has no apparent ties to the victim. In a state that is more like a neighborhood community, secrets are difficult to keep, and it’s sometimes impossible to know who can be trusted. To save those he holds closest to his heart, Gunther soon finds himself opposing criminals more menacing than any he has ever encountered.

Archer Mayor once again wrote a face-paced, exciting and gripping novel with Joe Gunther, head of the newly established Vermont Bureau of Investigation, as the lead character.

Goodreads review by Dennis

I pity the women who love Joe Gunther. His police work either puts them in the hospital or him. Gail Zigman is better off being a friend of the family, and I hope she doesn’t disappear from the series altogether. There are two plots to this book, and what connects the two is sexual assault and the des......more

Goodreads review by Marti

I liked this novel better than the other Archer Mayor novel I read. I bought both at a used book sale in Hinesburg, VT, which is appropriate since the settings are different places in Vermont. This tells about internet sex chat rooms, and also tells more about Joe Gunther's mother and brother, who a......more
