Book Description | Ben Kendall was a troubled man. Coming back from Vietnam with scars that no one else could see, he hid away from the world, lling his house with an ever-increasing amount of stu . Finally, the piles collapsed and he was found dead, crushed beneath his own belongings. Ben's cousin, also the medical examiner, is unsettled by the circumstances of his death, and alerts Joe Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team. What appears to be the accidental death of a hoarder may be something much more -- and much deadlier. Ben, it seems, brought back combat photos and negatives from Vietnam, that someone wants to desperately keep from the public eye. And a two-man hit team is searching for some of the missing negatives. With Joe Gunther and his squad trailing behind the grisly research results of the hit team, Gunther has little time to nd and protect the next person on their list before she ends up in the same state as those before her. |
Editorial Review | "Another riveting addition to one of the fi nest series in crime fi ction. A circuitous plot, fi nely drawn characters, and Mayor's evocative, writerly grace notes... make this a must-read for crime lovers. " --Booklist (starred review) "I have a soft spot for quiet writers like Archer Mayor, whose unassuming voice and down to earth style stamp his regional crime novels with a sense of integrity. The strength of these narratives has always come from the author's profound understanding of his region and from his hero's intuitive ability to relate to the people who live there." --Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times |
