Vermont deputy-cum-author Archer Mayor’s 20th novel in the Joe Gunther detective series traces the roots and bloody consequences of two mysterious New England crimes. Vermont Bureau of Investigation’s token investigator Joe Gunther is back, probing the messy homicide of a suspected pedophile with ties to a trailer park family. But Joe becomes distracted from his duty when he discovers new evidence about the believed disappearance at sea of his girlfriend Lyn’s father and brother. Talk of murder is in the air, and if Joe and Lyn aren’t careful, it could reach them too.
