Mike Bowditch is a Maine game warden. He is a cop, and the forest is his beat. His wife Sarah has been gone 55 days, disenchanted with his failure to move on, become a lawyer, and be financially and socially secure. His father has been gone far longer. A hard drinker whose marriage failed years ago, he now lives, and sometimes works, deep in the backwoods of Maine. A recent land sale has local residents upset and causes the deaths of two. Mike's Dad leaves an abrupt message on his answering machine the very night of the murders. Is his father involved? Mike works to solve the crimes and clear his father's name.
This novel has great suspense and a terrific ending.
