Borderlines

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.
