Across Brattleboro, Vermont, rich people (some with dark secrets) are waking up in their high security, alarm-equipped homes to find a Post-it note stuck to their bedside tables reading, “You’re it.” There is little sign of disturbance anywhere, nothing stolen (that anyone admits,) and only a bit of expensive food eaten as a signature. The Press loves the story\u00a0and dubs the burglar the Tag Man.<\/p>\n

But who is he? And what\u2019s he actually doing? In fact, he\u2019s quickly running for his life, for what he discovers in one of these houses appears to be proof of a heinous string of murders. But is it? Joe Gunther, struggling to recover from a devastating personal loss, leads his VBI team to untangle the many conflicting pieces of evidence,\u00a0while the\u00a0burglar himself struggles for survival in the no-man\u2019s-land between the police and the villains. With no one knowing what to believe, or who to trust, with Tag Man running for his life in a way he never imagined possible, as no one knows who\u2019s watching as they sleep,\u00a0or who truly did what, the\u00a0Tag Man<\/i>\u00a0is critically acclaimed author Archer Mayor at his very finest. \u00a0~ from MacMillan<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
