Description

During the height of a harsh Vermont winter, the body of a woman is found hanging from the steel-mesh retaining net lining the cliffs along the interstate. She was brutally murdered, with the word "dyke" carved into her chest. She was also a state senator and best friend and ally of the current governor, Gail Zigman. At Zigman's personal request, Joe Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team agree to help the Vermont State Police in their investigation before the victim's high profile and powerful friends create the inevitable publicity maelstrom.
Raffner was indeed a lesbian, and the word carved into her chest might be evidence of a hate crime, or it might be a feint designed to confuse and mislead investigators. But the question remains-what was she involved with, who wanted her dead, and what company was she keeping? What Gunther and his team discover during their initial investigation isn't the stuff of a simple murder. Someone killed a prominent figure and fabricated an elaborate scene for a purpose.
And this might only be the beginning...in Archer Mayor's The Company She Kept.

        Joe Gunther shows no sign of slowing down in Mayor’s accomplished 26th novel featuring the field force commander of the Vermont Bureau of Investigation (after 2014’s Proof Positive). When the half-frozen body of Susan Raffner, a Vermont state senator, is found hanging from a cliff off the interstate with the word Dyke carved on her chest, the state’s governor, Gail Zigman, puts Gunther in charge of the case. Gunther, who knew and respected Raffner, a polarizing activist and Zigman’s close friend and adviser, can count on the usual colorful crew to help him out. The irascible Willy Kunkle and the reckless Sammie Martens, the only female on the VBI squad, shine as they pursue the possibly misleading few clues. A thorough vetting of Raffner’s activities and associates yields some surprising results. Mayor does a good job dramatizing the political and cultural conflicts, but it’s the special push-the-envelope talents of Gunther and his team that make this series so enjoyable. Agent: Molly Friedrich, Friedrich Agency.

        Vermont state senator Susan Raffner is a liberal political crusader and Governor Gail Zigman's closest advisor. When Raffner's body is discovered hanging from a cliff face, it's all hands on deck for Joe Gunther's Vermont Bureau of Investigation. Raffner's death is quickly determined to be murder, and the fact that DYKE was carved into her chest spells hate crime. The VBI is facing a wide-ranging investigation under unprecedented media coverage. The governor, who was once involved with Gunther, increases the media frenzy by acknowledging that she and Raffner were lovers. Mayor's novels always work best when the crime, the solution, and the VBI stay in Vermont. This one does, ranging from Brattleboro in the south to the state's insular Northeast Kingdom, and it affords Mayor full opportunity to write engagingly and sometimes lyrically about the beauties, virtues, and quirks of his home state. The author's legion of fans will also be surprised to learn new things about Joe's longtime subordinates, Sammie Martens and the always irascible Willy Kunkel. This is another fine entry in a series that has been engaging crime devotees for more than a quarter century.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)

        One snowy morning, Joe Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team are brought in when the body of a state senator is found strung up above the interstate with the word dyke carved in her chest. Talk about authentic; when he's not writing this New York Times best-selling series, Mayor serves as state medical examiner and an investigator for the sheriff's department in Vermont.
