Occam's Razor by Archer Mayor

The body was positioned so that the train neatly obliterated its head and hands. Dressed in a homeless man's clothes with empty pockets, it might easily be passed-off as an unfortunate John Doe. And yet. Joe Gunther has a knack for knowing when things don't quite add up, and the math in this case is all kinds of wrong. Add a toxic waste dumping scheme, a stabbing, and a whole lot of state politics. if Occam's razor were applied to Gunther's caseload, how many incisions would it make?

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.
