Now a New York Times bestselling series, Even in beautiful Vermont, Archer Mayor finds shadows . . . and his detective, Joe Gunther, finds a way to beat them back. --NPR
Joe Gunther and his team at the Vermont Bureau of Investigation are alerted to a string of unrelated burglaries across Vermont. Someone, in addition to flatscreens, computers, and stereos, has also been stealing antiques and jewelry.Meanwhile, in Boston, an elderly woman surprises some thieves in her Beacon Hill home and is viciously murdered. The Boston police find that not only is the loot similar to what's being stolen in Vermont, but it may have the same destination. Word is out that someone powerful is purchasing these particular kinds of items in the Paradise City of Northampton, Mass. Gunther, the Boston Police, and the vengeful granddaughter of the murdered old lady convene on Northampton, eager to get to the bottom of the mystery and find the responsible parties--although each is motivated to mete out some very different penalties.
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.
