Vermont?s bucolic image is shattered in Archer Mayor?s new book, Gatekeeper. It?s the latest in his Joe Gunther series of crime novels. It?s about the heroin trade in Vermont and the horrors that go along with it. Archer Mayor did a lot of research for the book. He?s also an assistant medical examiner for the state of Vermont as well as an EMT for the Brattleboro area. Both have brought him face to face with the consequences of Vermont?s heroin troubles. Archer talks about the war on drugs, some of the things he?s seen, and what?s ahead.
