One Last Lie by Paul Doiron

When Charley Stevens disappears, Mike Bowditch is worried. Charley has been a second father and mentor to Mike. Mike's concerns become even more grave when he discovers a letter written to him from Charley, explaining that there's something from Charley's past that he needs to take care of, and that Mike should not come after him. Mike disregards Charley's wish, knowing that Charley probably wants his help. One Last Lie recounts Mike's journey through the wilds of Maine to help his friend. A worthy addition to this long-running mystery series. It will be published next month.
