The Poacher's Son by Paul Doiron

Maine game warden Mike Bowditch hasn't seen his father, Jack, in two years. Now, however, Jack is suspected of shooting a local policeman and an executive from a timber company. Jack has disappeared, but leaves a message on Mike's answering machine. Believing his dad is innocent, Mike puts his job and life in jeopardy to help a man who's alcoholism and outsider ways stood in the way of being a good father. The Poacher's Son takes the reader through the terrain of northern Maine in this mystery that's similar to C.J. Box's Joe Pickett series. It will be published in May.
