Quotes
“Mayor writes so well about his native Vermont and the highs and lows of police work that even an outlandish plot straight from an old James Bond story doesn’t spoil the pleasures of his latest Joe Gunther mystery…Mayor has linked Gunther’s Vermont with the rest of the world’s problems before; this story is a farther stretch but no less pleasurable for the reach.” Publishers Weekly
“The sense of place Mayor creates is vivid and real, whether he’s writing about Vermont’s economically bleak small cities or the harsh wilderness of the Northeast Kingdom. So, too, are the recurring characters and the prickly, complex relationships they maintain with one another. In this one, Joe worries that the shadowy forces he’s battling view him as the Disposable Man. Not to worry, Joe, you’re indispensable.” Booklist
