THREE CAN KEEP A SECRET
MAYOR, ARCHER
Joe Gunther and his team—the Vermont Bureau of Investigation (VBI)—are usually called in on major
cases by local Vermont enforcement whenever they need expertise and back-up. But after the state is
devastated by Hurricane Irene, the police from one end of the state are taxed to their limits, leaving Joe
Gunther involved in an odd, seemingly unrelated series of cases. In the wake of the hurricane, a
seventeen year old gravesite is exposed, revealing a coffin that had been filled with rocks instead of the
expected remains. At the same time, an old, retired state politician turns up dead at his high-end nursing
home, in circumstances that leave investigators unsure that he wasn’t murdered. And a patient who calls
herself The Governor has walked away from a state mental facility during the post-hurricane flood. It turns
out that she was indeed once “Governor for a Day,” over forty years ago, but that she might have
also been falsely committed and drugged to keep her from revealing something that she saw all those
years ago. Amidst the turmoil and the disaster relief, it’s up to Joe Gunther and his team to learn what
really happened with the two corpses—one missing—and what secret “The Governor” might have still
locked in her brain that links them all.

THROUGH THE EVIL DAYS
SPENCER-FLEMING, JULIA
On a frigid January night, Chief of Police Russ Van Alstyne and Reverend Clare Fergusson are called to
the scene of a raging fire, that quickly becomes a double homicide and kidnapping. Which is the very last
thing Russ needs; Currently he's struggling with the prospect of impending fatherhood. And his new wife
is not at all happy with his proposal for their long-delayed honeymoon: a week in an unelectrified icefishing
cabin. The vestry of St. Alban's Church has called for the bishop to investigate Clare's "unpriestly"
pregnancy. She has one week to find out if she will be scolded, censured, or suspended from her duties.
Officer Hadley Knox is having a miserable January as well. Her on-again-off-again lover, Kevin Flynn, has
seven days to weigh an offer from the Syracuse Police Department that might take him half a state away.
As the days and hours tick by, Russ and Clare fight personal and professional battles they've never
encountered. In the course of this one tumultuous week the lives of the Millers-Kill residents readers have
come to love and cherish change forever.
