But when the missing woman is found brutalized in a manner that suggests Jefferts may have been framed, Bowditch receives a warning from state prosecutors to stop asking questions.For Bowditch, doing nothing is not an option. And as he closes in on his quarry, he suddenly discovers how dangerous his opponents are, and how far they will go to prevent him from bringing a killer to justice.Praise for The Poacher's Son:An excellent debut - filled with murder, betrayal and a terrific sense of place. C.J. Box.A stunning debut...At its heart this is a tale of bitter betrayal, lost hopes and broken dreams. The book has a tautness that is impossible to forget and which left me close to tears.

Daily Mail.Stunning vistas...eye popping scenes - The New York Times Book Review.This is a compelling, moving and utterly impressive debut - Andre Dubus III, author of House of Sand and Fog.The Poacher's Son is one of the best written debut novels I have read in years.
