He subsequently becomes the head of detectives and then moves to the (fictitious) "Vermont Bureau of Investigations", which allows him to investigate serious crimes anywhere within the state. It is revealed in later books that he made the transition from patrolman to detective some time around 1970. He was briefly married, but he lost his wife to cancer less than two years after becoming a detective, and he never remarried. He is in a long-lasting relationship with Gail Zigman, a Brattleboro realtor turned politician. He has a younger brother Leo, who still lives in Thetford with their elderly mother as of the events of 'Surrogate Thief' (2004). (en)
