Synopsis

In northwestern Vermont, young Bobby Cutts enters the family barn and encounters a nightmare. Surrounded by bolts of fire, Bobby and the entire herd perish in a stampeding, circle of flames. Called to the scene to investigate, Joe Gunther instantly recognizes arson. But by whom? And why? Gunther quickly discovers that someone is wreaking havoc across the bucolic farmlands surrounding the town of St. Albans. Somewhere in the dense social fabric of the community, in the hearts and souls of Bobby's family, and in the cutthroat farming business underneath the region's placid exterior are the truths his team must ferret out. But what looked like a local case is about to take them from the barns of Vermont to the gritty streets of Newark, New Jersey. Before all is said and done, Joe Gunther will meet one of his deadliest opponents to date … and he will need far more than his skills as a policeman to protect the people closest to his heart.

I have really fallen in love with Joe Gunther over the course of this series. His character is just awesome. A real stand up, honest, trustworthy, hardworking, dedicated man.

Goodreads review by Dennis on May 23, 2017

Characteristic Joe Gunther novel, only both the mystery and the ongoing saga of Joe and Gail are dark and sad. I wished for more Sammie in this book. Unlike some other readers, though, I thought the detour to Newark showed Archer Mayor doing what he does best: setting the scene with a deep knowledge......more

As always, i love a good Archer Mayor/Joe Gunther mystery, and this one didn't disappoint! despite being almost 20 years old, this book still rings as relevant to VT and our farming communities. A sad but thoughtful ending.......more
