Almost Midnight by Paul Doiron

When Mike gets a message that his best friend, Billy, needs to see him, Mike travels to the prison where Billy is incarcerated. Billy tells Mike that he needs to find out about one of the prison guards named Dawn Richie. Mike is reluctant because Billy has been unreliable with his suspicions in the past. Soon after, there is a fight at the prison where Billy is stabbed as he saves Dawn Richie's life. Mike wonders what's really going on at the facility and decides to delve into the case. In addition, Mike gets a call that the wolf-dog he had bonded with has been shot and is near death. Mike is despondent about the possible loss of Shadow and decides to try and track Shadow's mate to see if she is safe. In Almost Midnight, the reader is immersed in the wilds of Maine and Mike's group of friends. The book will be published next month.
