What this book is about
A fisherman's catch includes a body in the hold — a man who has been hidden there. Joe Gunther's investigation follows the trail from Vermont to the Maine coast, tracing the body's origin and how it came to be where it is. Archer Mayor's fourteenth Gunther novel expands the series' geography to the Maine fishing industry and deals with the specific world of commercial fishing — its economy, its culture, and the particular opportunities for criminal activity that it provides.
