PUTNEY — Next Stage Arts Project presents an evening with Vermont's own crime writer, Archer Mayor, on Friday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m., at Next Stage, 15 Kimball Hill.
Mayor is a local hero with a national reputation, a beloved hometown son who writes about the streets, towns and community that students and community members know intimately.
His latest book, No. 24 in his Joe Gunther police procedural series, is “Three Can Keep a Secret,” in which Investigator Joe Gunther deals with the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.
The Chicago Tribune describes Mayor's fiction as “the best police procedurals being written in America.” He also is a past winner of the New England Independent Booksellers Association Award for Best Fiction - the first time a writer of crime literature has been so honored.
In 2011, Mayor's 22nd Joe Gunther novel, “Tag Man,” earned a place on the New York Times bestseller list for hardback fiction.
This reading is funded in part by a grant from the Vermont Humanities Council.
