Title: Good book, Gunther is very human.
Product review: Joe Gunther, the Brattleboro, VT detective becomes part of the state's Attorney General's camp while he investigates a statewide drug trafficking ring. The ring is operating below the radar of local law enforcement, but comes under scrutiny after ensnaring a small time cop in their dealings.Gunther gets wrapped up the case, as much because he is wondering how his long involvement in law enforcement is starting to effect his life. Is he cynical or numb to the sights he sees and the lives he intersects with?The case centers on the life of one man, his underage runners, a woman he abuses and children caught in the center of it all. We have become desensitized to all of this with a big city backdrop but seeing it played out against a small town is sobering. Mayor brings the human toll of it into focus.A little long, but Gunther's continuing story is worth the effort.
