One Last Lie — Paul Doiron

A sudden disappearance reveals a startling connection to a 15-year-old cold case in One Last Lie, the new thriller from bestselling Edgar Award finalist Paul Doiron.

“Never trust a man without secrets.” These are the last words retired game warden Charley Stevens speaks to his surrogate son, Warden Investigator Mike Bowditch, before the old man vanishes without explanation into a thousand miles of forest along the Canadian border. Mike suspects his friend's sudden disappearance has to do with an antique badge found at a flea market―a badge that belonged to a warden who was presumed dead fifteen years ago but whose body was never recovered.

On a mission to find Charley before he meets a similarly dark fate, Mike must reopen a cold case that powerful people, including his fellow wardens―one of whom might be a killer―will do anything to keep closed.
