Three mysterious barn burnings, two of which are obviously related, are the basis of Joe Gunthers 16th adventure as the number two man in the Vermont Bureau of Investigation. Gunther becomes involved because the third fire has a human victim as well as dairy cattle. His investigation leads him to New Jersey where he and sidekick Willy Kunkle are eventually able to solve the case. Another well written entry in the series which captures rural New England and all its quirks as well as its beauty and appeal.
