The Dark Root

A brutal home invasion shocks Brattleboro's small Asian community, but

no one's talking. Undeterred, Joe Gunther digs deeper and discovers a

cross-border smuggling route carrying drugs, contraband, and illegal

aliens into and out of Canada. Operating below the radar for years,

competition between underworld rivals is bringing it into the light with

deadly consequences. International jurisdiction is a complicated thing,

and Gunther will have to collaborate with the FBI, the Border Patrol

and the Mounties in the pursuit of justice.
