The Sniper's Wife

fullDescription

The harrowing call comes from the NYPD: Willy's ex-wife Mary has been found dead in her Lower East Side apartment, and Willy is asked to identify the body. Torn from his beloved Vermont, Willy returns to the city of his hard-drinking youth with misgivings that deepen when he sees Mary's sad corpse on a gurney. Because of a fresh puncture mark in her arm, the police think she overdosed. But Willy has doubts.

Driven by loss and guilt, Willy searches deeper and deeper into his past, to a long-ago Vietnam where he was a merciless loner known as the Sniper. Soon he will answer for his old sins ... and live up to his chilling nickname.

   • content: Willie Kunkle, Vermont cop, goes to New York to find out if or why his ex-wife committed suicide. He gets more than he bargained for. Christopher Graybill's pleasant narrative voice contrasts well with the edge he gives Willie, his gruff supervisor, and the villains he encounters in the big city. But an otherwise effective presentation is tarnished by the tracking stops that interrupt the dramatic flow. Sometimes they occur between a question and its reply. Graybill does his best with the story's exciting ending, set in a deserted military prison, but again there are those annoying stops. Listen to the cassette version. J.B.G.

     Starred review from September 30, 2002
     This intricate, first-rate thriller delves into the troubled past of Mayor's most complex character, Detective Willy Kunkle, of Joe Gunther's Vermont Bureau of Investigation. When Kunkle learns that his ex-wife Mary overdosed on heroin in Manhattan, he hastens there to identify her body. Suspecting murder, he convinces Ward Ogden, a high-ranking NYPD detective, to reopen the case. In tracing Mary's life in New York, Kunkle revisits his own Manhattan childhood, membership in the NYPD, the trauma of Vietnam and strained relations with his dysfunctional family. When he's arrested during a raid on an illegal club, Joe and Detective Sammie Martens, Kunkle's lover, come to New York, and the two country cops prove they're as astute as their city counterparts. As the plot becomes more convoluted—but never confusing—Kunkle's quest for Mary's killer parallels Ogden's and Joe's. A harrowing chase through New England leads them all to the defunct Portsmouth Naval Prison in New Hampshire and a heart-stopping finale. Mayor's understanding of human behavior makes his tortured protagonist an unforgettable character. His powers of description not confined to Vermont, the author imbues well-known and obscure New York neighborhoods with a sparkling sense of place. A riveting plot and exceptional writing will surely enhance Mayor's reputation. (Oct. 22)FYI:Mayor's last Joe Gunther mystery was
     Tucker Peak (Forecasts, Oct. 15, 2001).
