The Dark Root by Archer Mayor

The Dark Root by Archer Mayor

A brutal home invasion shocks Brattleboro's small Asian community, but no one's talking. Undeterred, Joe Gunther digs deeper and discovers a cross-border smuggling route carrying drugs, contraband, and illegal aliens into and out of Canada. Operating below the radar for years, competition between underworld rivals is bringing it into the light with deadly consequences. International jurisdiction is a complicated thing, and Gunther will have to collaborate with the FBI, the Border Patrol and the Mounties in the pursuit of justice.

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.
