Publisher's noteJoe Gunther must balance the official investigation into the murder of Wayne Castine, a suspected child predator, with a private probe into the possible murder of his girlfriend Lyn Silva's father and brother, who were originally believed lost at sea. By the acclaimed author of The Catch. 40,000 first printing. AnnotationVermont investigator Joe Gunther juggles two complex cases in this nuanced police procedural from Archer Mayor. The list of people who might have wanted suspected multi-count pedophile Wayne Castine dead is pretty lengthy, so when he turns up dead in a Brattleboro apartment the Vermont Bureau of Investigation has a hefty case on its hands. Simultaneously with this case, Joe is making trips up to Maine to help his girlfriend Lyn look into the deaths of her father and brother, as new facts turn up linking her fishermen family members to a drug smuggling ring. Wayne Castine was found brutally murdered and the murderer remains at large. Castine, a suspected child predator, was killed in Brattleboro where he was involved with a tangled network of an extended family living in a local trailer park. Any member of the clan would have had the opportunity to kill him, and, as he was involved with both the mother and her 12 year old daughter, reason to commit the murder. At the same time, Joe Gunther has learned that his girlfriend Lyn Silva's fisherman father and brother, believed lost at sea off the coast of Maine, might have actually been murdered. Without enough solid information to warrant law enforce ment involvement, Lyn returns to Maine to try and investigate Gunther's findings. Gunther periodically puts his on-going murder investigation on hold--irritating his colleagues and angering his bosses --to go and help Lyn in Maine. It appears increasingly possible that her father and brother weren't the good guys that Lyn always believed them to be and that they might have been involved with vicious smugglers who murdered them--and might do the same to Lyn if she keeps pushing. Torn between his conscience and his heart, a murder invest - igation and a personal search for the truth, Gunther finds that betrayal and loyalty are often a matter of viewpoint.
