Thank you Netgalley, Macmillan Audio and Minotaur Books for the gifted book!
It's always a risk to jump into an established series, but I am so glad I jumped into this one! This book is the twelfth in the Mike Bowditch series. Mike is a Maine game warden who finds himself ambushed and thrown into a situation fighting for his life in the harsh Maine December winter. Told in alternating timelines of the same day, Mike is left to puzzle out how to stay alive and why he is put in this position in the first place. If Jack Bauer were a Maine game warden, 24 would have had a season based on this book. It is that intense and layered and interesting. Now I want to go back and read the whole series.
