Archer Mayor's 22nd Joe Gunther Book ... and Upcoming Visit to Kingdom Books

Archer Mayor
TAG MAN is the 22nd Joe Gunther (and team) investigation from Archer Mayor, and it's time to pause and review the list. Here it is:
Open Season
Borderlines
Scent of Evil
The Skeleton's Knee
Fruits of the Poisonous Tree
The Dark Root
The Ragman's Memory
Bellows Falls
The Disposable Man
Occam's Razor
Marble Mask
Tucker Peak
The Sniper's Wife
Gatekeeper
The Surrogate Thief
St. Albans Fire
The Second Mouse
Chat
The Catch
The Price of Malice
Red Herring
and, at last, TAG MAN
We've all come a long way with Joe since 1988, when he made his first appearance. There's a great "bio" of this Vermont police detective on Archer Mayor's website, http://www.archermayor.com/joe_gunther.htm -- it's a good place to start, with its reminders of characters long gone from the latest books: Joe's brother Leo, for instance.

Author Archer Mayor will visit Kingdom Books on Saturday Oct. 15 at 2 p.m., when he'll introduce us to Tag Man and take questions. To get ready, I'm going to recap the preceding books over the next few days. Keep an eye on the blog here, and see how your memory matches up with what the detective's records show.
