A gripping entry in Archer Mayor's long-running procedural crime series, The Skeleton's Knee follows Vermont detective Joe Gunther as he investigates a decades-old mystery unearthed when a skeleton is discovered with a surgically repaired knee — a medical implant that becomes the key to identifying the victim. Mayor masterfully chronicles Gunther's methodical pursuit of the truth, weaving together threads of the past and present as the investigation uncovers buried secrets, old grudges, and a killer who has long believed the crime was forgotten. The novel's tone is measured and atmospheric, grounded in the rugged, small-town landscape of Vermont, which Mayor renders with an authenticity born of deep regional familiarity. Fans of thoughtful, character-driven police procedurals will find Gunther a compelling and quietly tenacious protagonist whose moral steadiness anchors even the most complex cases.
