Ben Kendall was a troubled man. Coming back from Vietnam
with PTSD and scars that no one else could see, he hid away
from the world, filling his house with an ever-increasing
amount of stuff, until finally, the piles collapsed and he
was found dead, crushed beneath his own belongings. But what
at first glance looks to be a tragic accidental death of a
hoarder, may be something much more--and much deadlier.
Ben's cousin, medical examiner Beverly Hillstrom, unsettled
by the circumstances of his death, alerts Joe Gunther and
his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team.
Ben, it
seems, brought back something else from Vietnam than
personal demons--he also brought back combat photos and
negatives that someone else wants desperately to keep from
the public eye. When Beverly's daughter Rachel made her
cousin Ben--and his photos--the subject of her college art
project, some of those photos appeared on the walls of a
local art gallery. This in turn resulted in the appearance
of a two man hit squad, searching for some other missing
negatives. With Joe Gunther and his squad trailing behind
the grisly research results of the hit team, and the deadly
killers closing in on Rachel, Gunther has little time to
find and protect Rachel before she ends up in the same
grisly state as her cousin before her. Archer Mayor's
Proof Positive is another enthralling installment in
the Joe Gunther Series.
