A quiet town under pressure

Brattleboro’s usually low-murder setting gives this police procedural a sharp contrast as killings and apparent frame-ups accumulate. The investigation led by Lieutenant Joe Gunther points toward a three-year-old murder trial, while reluctance within the department to reopen that case adds an institutional complication. The description frames the mystery around both the search for whoever is behind the violence and the question of what the earlier trial left unresolved. Gunther’s commitment to pursuing the case anchors a story shaped by mounting danger, local police work, and the consequences of a past investigation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy police procedurals centered on an ongoing investigation.
  • Readers interested in mysteries where a past trial connects to new crimes.
  • Readers seeking a crime story set in a Vermont community.

Book overview

Lt. Joe Gunther of the Brattleboro, Vermont police force has a serious problem: in a community where a decade could pass without a single murder, the body count is suddenly mounting. Innocent citizens are being killed-and others set-up-seemingly orchestrated by a mysterious ski-masked man. Signs suggest that a three year-old murder trial might lie at the heart of things, but it's a case that many in the department would prefer remained closed. A man of quiet integrity, Lt. Gunther knows that he must pursue the case to its conclusion, wherever it leads.
