Overview

Seconded to the State’s Attorney’s office, Lt. Joe Gunther is in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom investigating a minor embezzling case. It’s a pleasant distraction, and a chance to reconnect with old friends, but when a house fire reveals itself to be arson, compounded by murder, Gunther can’t help but investigate. Suddenly, he finds himself enmeshed in a web of animosity between put-upon townspeople, the state police, angry parents and members of a reclusive sect. Murder follows murder, yet no one seems to be telling Gunther the whole truth—not even his childhood friends—and truth is what he desperately needs if he’s to stop the killings.

Borderlines is the second of Archer Mayor’s Joe Gunther mysteries.

Editorial Reviews

Charles Champlin
Mayor catches the sights and the feel of the place, the leaf-smoke tang and the dank chill of the deepening fall, the fears and tensions of a place in trouble. His book is a regional novel, a character study, a police procedural, and with it all, persuasive proof that Mayor's debut was a real beginning, not beginner's luck.
Marilyn Stasio
Mr. Mayor writes invigorating outdoor action scenes, and his authoritative handling of forensic procedures has us marveling at his thorough knowledge of knife wounds and body burns. The formal beauty of this ugly detail is matched in tone by the crisp dialogue and tense confrontations he writes for characters who don't care to waste words or squander emotions. For a writer so new at this game, Mr. Mayor has astonishing control of his craft.

    A good read

    After reading the first book in the Joe Gunther series I wondered how well this setting could be used for a series of books. Much like the Jack Reacher series that I enjoy you begin to wonder about the believability of all thing happening to one person or in one town. The author has been good at shifting locations and adding to the cast of characters in a believable manner.

    I found this series to be a good and enjoyable read with plausible characters and story lines. I am on #6 now and have enjoyed them all to date.
