Storm Tide by Paul Doiron

Pull your collar up against the wind. There’s a chill coming off the water, and an even colder one waiting in the pages of this one.

Game Warden Mike Bowditch returns in Storm Tide, the harrowing new thriller from Edgar Award-nominated author Paul Doiron.

When the magnificent home of entrepreneur Brian Malloy goes up in flames, Bowditch tries to pull Malloy’s burning body from the fire—but he’s too late. Malloy was suspected of murdering his young, illegitimate son. Now it looks like someone else has delivered the verdict.

Miles away, on a lonely stretch of icy railroad track, another body is found. The two killings seem unrelated. But a cryptic text from an unknown number draws Bowditch to the scene—and hints at a chilling connection.

Someone is hunting criminals who escaped justice. And for reasons he can’t explain, Bowditch’s own name is on the list.

His search takes him through frozen harbors, trackless forests, and remote islands, far from rescue. Meanwhile, his career hangs in the balance, his wife Stacey is weeks from giving birth, and a stranger in a white van is watching their home. The case has turned personal.

For us salty Mainers, there’s a special thrill in seeing our own rugged coast become the backdrop for such a gripping story. Doiron knows this landscape—the cold, the quiet, the way the woods can swallow a person whole.

This one’s a perfect companion for a gray afternoon, when the fog rolls in over the cove and you’ve got nowhere to be but here, on the next page.
