Bellows Falls by Archer Mayor
Joe Gunther is seconded to the neighboring town of Bellows Falls to investigate harassment allegations against a fellow officer. What begins as a seemingly open-and-shut case comes to look more and more like a frame job as Gunther doggedly pursues the truth, and soon he finds himself feeling around the edges of a statewide drug distribution network. As always, Vermont itself is a major character in Mayor's writing, with Bellows Falls standing in for any number of slowly decaying once-proud mill towns.Archer Mayor is the author of the critically praised Vermont-based series dubbed the best police procedurals being written in America by the Chicago Tribune. He is a death investigator for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Vermont, as well as a detective with 25 years of volunteer firefighter/EMT experience. Mayor delivers seminars and workshops all throughout the country, including the Colby College course on forensic sciences in Waterville, Maine, in addition to penning novels and occasional articles. Many authors base their books only on interviews and academic study, whereas Mayor's novels are based on firsthand experience. As a result, his characters and their tribulations have more depth, realism, and veracity, prompting The New York Times to dub him the boss man on methods. Mayor's critically regarded police novel series has received great praise from publications like as The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, New Yorker, Publisher's Weekly, and others, and has frequently appeared on their ten best yearly lists.
