Synopsis "Spider's Web in the Green Mountains: A Cooper North Mystery"
In the night, Cooper North's window shatters-a bullet. She just retired as a prosecutor, so who wants her dead? And why now? It's a strange game. Cooper and her police colleagues hunt the shooter, while the shooter stalks Cooper. He attacks her psychologically, too. He even threatens her new housemate, Henry, a Pembroke Welsh corgi. Then, a murder. Cooper imagines a vast spiderweb, interconnecting everyone in town. It's strands are favors and insults and affairs and business deals and loves and jealousies and envies, reaching back in time. Because one thing Cooper knows for sure: in an old New England town like this, murder's roots can run deep. As she follows the shooter's twisting trail, Cooper discovers people she's known since childhood aren't who she thinks they are. And that trail she follows leads her to a long-abandoned building, where she finds herself looking into the barrel of a rifle. Praise For This Mystery From Readers- "I was up to two a.m. last night reading Spider's Web, and I just never do that!" "One word. Wow! Five stars." "Lots of Action! Five stars." Another Reader's Comment-- "...a Mack-truck-out-of-nowhere double barrels into a never-saw-it-coming conclusion. On the way to the last chapter, it's also full of sleight-of-hand plot shifts and descriptive subtleties akin to poetry. There's 100% agreement among fellow mystery lovers with whom I've shared this book. We loved it!-5 Stars." A Fifth Mystery Fan Said- "Really liked the story. Interesting plot with twists. Good characters-5 Stars!" Praise From Five More Readers- "A retired prosecutor is in the crosshairs of hate. Who wants her dead, her dog injured and her reputation sullied?" "This story keeps on giving. So much fun, it keeps you guessing as to whom the culprit is. Read and find out." "I really enjoyed this novel. I hope that Mr. Wolkomir will turn the book into a series." "Wolkomir avoids moralizing, while building well-rounded characters that have their faults as well as strengths." "I thoroughly enjoyed the character, the dog, the subject, and the writing. It kept my interest-a very good mystery. I am hoping Mr. Wolkomir keeps up the great writing."
