Description
"Joe Gunther, a policeman for most of his adult life, gets the call that every cop hates and every law enforcement friend and family member fears - a fellow officer has been killed in the line of duty. During what appears to have been a routine traffic stop on a dark country Vermont road, a deputy sheriff was shot to death. From what can be seen on the cruiser's video recorder, it is believed that the killers were a couple of Boston-based drug runners pulled over by the deputy on their way from Canada to Boston." "Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team are brought in not only to identify the kiIlers, but to track them down, regardless of where they've run - all the way from Boston to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to the coast of Maine." "Meanwhile, along that very same shoreline, Alan Budney, the disaffected son of a Maine lobsterman, is a man with big ambitions - to usurp and replace the state's primary drug kingpin, a plan that will inevitably place him on a collision course with Gunther's investigation. In a case that leads him into unfamiliar territory, Gunther finds himself facing some utterly ruthless players in a lethally dangerous game."--BOOK JACKET.
