The Surrogate Thief (Joe Gunther Series, Book #15) by Archer Mayor
Compelling plots and a vivid New England canvas are the mainstays of Archer Mayor's acclaimed mysteries. In this novel that won the New England Book Award for Fiction, Mayor's popular Vermont sleuth, Joe Gunther, returns to pursue his most elusive nemesis to date.
Brattleboro is your typical scenic Vermont town. Homes are quaint and streets are leafy. Yet there is also a darkness here, as veteran cop Joe Gunther knows all too well. After years of tackling drug pushers, corporate swindlers, and environmental conspirators, Gunther faces a new danger when a cold case is suddenly reopened. Three decades earlier, a storeowner was brutally killed, and Gunther, distracted by his wife's battle with cancer, had let the investigation die. Now torn between righting past wrongs and wrestling his demons, Gunther must confront the most perilous case of his life. For stalking the idyllic Brattleboro streets is a long-lost murderer who never quite disappeared and, with Gunther's renewed interest, has good reason to kill again.
