Mike comes across a house set back in the forest. As he walks up to the door, a woman opens it and Mike can tell that something is not right. After speaking with her, she claims that she knows nothing but just as he is about to leave a younger girl appears. Mike knows that he has seen this girl somewhere, but where? As Mike goes back to his car, he still is wondering how he knows her. Then it dawns on him; she is someone who has been missing for four years. All reports at the time were that she was dead.
Mike reports his findings to his superiors. They all think that he is nuts. Mike is not going to give up on what he feels. He continues to investigate the murder of the baby along with the missing girl. Strange things start to happen. One of the witnesses who claim a woman came into her store and brought the pink shirt is found dead. The more clues that come up the more Mike is determined to find this young woman. Now the rest of the force is starting to believe Mike and it becomes an all-out investigation.
Mike is so close to finding out what happened until he is captured. Who captured him and why?
Paul Doiron writes a really a great thriller. I really enjoyed the way Doiron described not only the characters but also the wild animals. I feel Doiron nailed the description of Mike perfectly. I also learned a lot about wild hogs. I never really gave them much thought, but Doiron made me really curious about them. I also learned a lot about some government laws containing the meat of these animals.
Doiron also has a little bit of romance in KNIFE CREEK; however, I feel it is really not a big part of the story line. More like a side story but a welcome addition. Hopefully, there will be more books in the game warden Mike Bowdich series in the future as I have a lot of catching up to do.
Book Summary
When Maine game warden Mike Bowditch is tasked with shooting invasive feral hogs that are tearing up the forest in his district, he makes a horrific discovery — a dead baby buried in a shallow grave.
Even more disturbing: evidence suggests the infant was the child of a young woman who was presumed to have died four years earlier after she disappeared from a group rafting trip.
As Bowditch assists the reopened investigation, he begins to suspect that some of his neighbors aren’t who they seem to be. When violence strikes close to home, he realizes that his unknown enemies will stop at nothing to keep their terrible secrets.
Mike Bowditch has bucked the odds his whole career, but this time the intrepid warden may have finally followed his hunches one step too far.
