Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Archer Mayor doesn't do quaint. He might use poetic imagery to describe the austere beauty of New England's rugged mountains and snowbound villages, but as far as their crime content is concerned, his police procedurals are about as authentic as it gets."- New York Times

"Mayor's fine 19th Joe Gunther novel will leave fans feeling fully satisfied." - Publisher's Weekly

"Mayor's New England eye mercilessly details what he sees without the "calendar nostaligia" that usually clings to such villages and backwaters. We get sucked into a web of drug smugglers from dead kingpins to irascible sidekicks. The clever plot expands like a dark whirlppol and reveals the underbely of Vermont and Maine." - Providence Journal

Reseña del editor:

Joe Gunther gets the call that every law enforcement person hates and every friend and family member of a policeman fears--a cop has been murdered in the line of duty. Deputy Sheriff Brian Sleuter has been shot to death during a routine traffic stop on a dark country road. From what can been seen on the cruiser's tape recorder of the killers, it is believed that they are a couple of Boston-based drug runners who were stopped by the deputy on their way from Canada down to Boston.

That brings Gunther and his major crimes team into the investigation--and eventually to Alan Budney, the disaffected son of a Maine lobsterman, now a drug kingpin, who uses the closed, clannish lobster fishing community, and his extended family in particular, to move drugs along the New England coast.
