Skin and Bones

A Mike Bowditch Short Mystery

By: Paul Doiron

Narrated by: Henry Leyva

In Skin and Bones, an original short story in the Paul Doiron's bestselling Mike Bowditch series, the killing of a bald eagle unearths ties to a tragic case from mentor Charley Steven’s past.

When Maine game warden Mike Bowditch discovers a bullet-ridden bald eagle in the Maine woods, he is surprised by the memories it brings back for his mentor, retired warden pilot Charley Stevens. Decades earlier, Charley briefly teamed up with Mike’s father, the notorious poacher Jack Bowditch, on an unsettling case that has haunted Charley for years. The two enemies, both war veterans, found common cause over the senseless shooting of a magnificent eagle.

But what started as a tentative alliance over a wildlife crime soon became something bigger and more terrifying: an investigation into a missing young man whose physically abusive brother might well have finally killed him. When an unspeakable discovery led to an impossible choice, Charley and Jack were forced to decide how far they would go to find justice when faced with inhumanity taken to its extreme.

shocking mystery

which came first? Silence of the Lambs or this book?
there are some very twisted people that live in the out reach of the woods.

Overall Enjoyment

I enjoyed it but found the ending a bit gruesome. It fit though considering the quilt felt by both characters.

Good as usual

Worth the price. Love this story line of characters. It’s really nice to get the sides stories to kind of get to know their character.

Another great book in this series.

From start to finish, this book does not disappoint. I cannot wait to read the next book.
