About this ebook

In Archer Mayor's Marked Man, the death of a local millionaire becomes suspicious when Joe Gunther learns that he was not who he claimed.

A year ago, local philanthropist and millionaire Nathan Lyon died a natural death in his sprawling mansion, a 150,000 square foot converted mill, surrounded by his loving, attentive family. Or so it seemed at the time. Now Joe Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team has discovered that almost nothing about that story was true. Nathan Lyon was actually Nick Bianchi from Providence, Rhode Island. His money came from Mafia-tainted sources. And his family now seems to be dying themselves and their deaths are now revealed to be murders.

As Gunther’s team desperately works to uncover what is going on at The Mill, who is responsible and what they are trying to accomplish, Joe himself travels to Rhode Island to look into the original source of the money. While the police are doing their jobs, private investigator Sally Kravitz teams up with reporter Rachel Reiling to expose the truth behind this tangled and expanding web of duplicity, greed, and obsession. Having betrayed many, it’s no surprise that Nathan Lyon was a marked man. But now Gunther has to figure out who, among the many, killed him, and stop them before their killing spree claims another.

    A year after a local millionaire’s death, it is discovered that he did not die of natural causes as assumed. Marked Man by Archer Mayor uses this event as the jumping-off point for the latest in the long-running Joe Gunther series.A year after Nathon Lyon died of seemingly natural causes in the former mill which he converted into a 150,000-square foot living space, it’s discovered that he was murdered. Joe Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team are called in and soon discover that Nathan is not who he appeared to be. He has a past drenched in mob connections and the relationship among his family members who live and work in the converted mill is a complicated web. When more family members begin dying, Joe knows he and the VBI have some work in front of them to unravel this mystery.Mayor lays all the pieces of this mystery out like a jigsaw puzzle. A private investigator hired by one of the family businesses headquartered in the former mill and a pair of old mobsters looking into a mob hit add more pieces to the puzzle. Mayor’s real skill comes when he begins to assemble all these disparate puzzle pieces into a solution that is both surprising and satisfying. The characters are well-drawn, each with distinctive traits and real personality. The members of Joe’s VBI team particularly so. They all have very different styles but their shared curiosity and thoughtfulness provide a common thread that makes it easy to understand why they function so well as a team.The story is a little slow at times, particularly in the middle, but great characters and a skillfully assembled mystery make this a book and series worth checking out.I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher.
