Massacre Pond is Edgar finalist Paul Doiron's superb new
novel featuring Game Warden Mike Bowditch and a beautiful,
enigmatic woman whose mission to save the Maine wilderness
may have incited a murder
On an unseasonably hot October morning, Bowditch is called
to the scene of a bizarre crime: the corpses of seven
moose
have been found senselessly butchered on the estate of
Elizabeth Morse, a wealthy animal rights activist who is
buying up huge parcels of timberland to create a new
national park.
What at first seems like mindless slaughter—retribution by
locals for the job losses Morse's plan is already causing
in
the region—becomes far more sinister when a shocking
murder
is discovered and Mike's investigation becomes a hunt to
find a ruthless killer. In order to solve the
controversial
case, Bowditch risks losing everything he holds dear: his
best friends, his career as a law enforcement officer, and
the love of his life.
The beauty and magnificence of the Maine woods is the
setting for a story of suspense and violence when one
powerful woman’s missionary zeal comes face to face with
ruthless cruelty.
