Shadow on Cant-Dog Hill

by John H. Vibber

Shadow on Cant-Dog Hill by John H. Vibber

Synopsis (from the publisher): The story is set in the corner of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom where Canaan village is forty five miles from the nearest stoplight and sometimes equally removed from the law. It is mid-January, 1982. Single parents Adele Clayton and Reilly Bostwick are in love. Nothing prevents them from forming a new family except a murder and a kidnapping.

Two days ago Reilly found a woman shot faceless on a snowy hillside. Yesterday the state medical examiner identified the victim as his ex-wife and police discovered matching blood in his cellar. Today Reilly sits in jail believing that nothing worse could happen to him and his eight-year-old daughter Amy. He's wrong. The true killers are looking for her. Fortunately their intricate plan didn't anticipate the talents of young widow Adele Clayton.

These are the dynamics of an intricate and exciting novel with an uplifting outcome: a mystery that stands in contrast to most police procedurals and PI stories. This detective's motivation isn't justice or money; it's love.
