Edgar finalist Paul Doiron's new novel featuring Game Warden Mike Bowditch. On an unseasonably hot October morning, Bowditch is called to the scene of a bizarre crime: the corpses of seven moose have been found senselessly butchered on the estate of Elizabeth Morse, a wealthy animal rights activist who is buying up huge parcels of timberland to create a new national park. What at first seems like mindless slaughter - retribution by locals for the job losses Morse's plan is causing in the region - becomes far more sinister when a shocking murder is discovered.

Many years earlier, she had called Charley, then a young game warden himself, for help. She claimed that her badly bleeding husband had been attacked by a rabid bat. But in the succeeding days, despite her husband's increasingly erratic and aggressive behavior, his wife resisted Charley's attempts to help, arousing his suspicions that more was going on than met the eye.

But Paul "Wolfie" Sedgewick's fatal fall from the sheer cliffs near Going-to-the-Sun Road is incomprehensible.

Fair but not...
The hermit is a real man and since I know the real story I find this bogus one slightly offensive. Perhaps if it had been a story onto itself and not so closely mirroring a real person it would have been more believable.
