Three Can Keep a Secret - A Joe Gunther Mystery Novel

Archer Mayor's New York Times bestselling Joe Gunther series returns with a complex case involving two corpses, one escaped mental patient, and a long-held secret that binds them together

"Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead." --Ben Franklin

Plot Overview

Joe Gunther and his team at the Vermont Bureau of Investigation (VBI) face an unprecedented challenge when Hurricane Irene devastates the state, stretching local law enforcement to their limits. Called in to provide expertise and backup, Gunther finds himself investigating three seemingly unrelated cases that converge into a decades-old conspiracy.

The hurricane's floodwaters expose a seventeen-year-old gravesite containing a coffin filled with rocks instead of human remains. Simultaneously, a retired state politician dies under suspicious circumstances at his high-end nursing home, leaving investigators questioning whether his death was natural. Adding to the mystery, a mental patient known as "The Governor" escapes from a state facility during the post-hurricane chaos. Her title isn't mere delusion—she was once "Governor for a Day" over forty years ago, but may have been falsely committed to silence what she witnessed decades earlier.

The Investigation

As Vermont struggles with disaster relief, Joe Gunther and the VBI must untangle the connections between two corpses—one missing entirely—and uncover the secret locked in "The Governor's" memory that links all three cases. The investigation spans four decades, revealing how past crimes echo into the present and testing the team's investigative skills against a backdrop of natural disaster.

About the Joe Gunther Series
