Skin and BonesSkin and Bones

"A collection of eight short stories in the Mike Bowditch series. In the first three entries, legendary Maine woodsman and bush pilot Charley Stevens draws Mike into some of the strangest cases of his storied career: extolling on the dangers awaiting rookie game wardens, a gruesome case involving a bat with rabies, and a visiting hunter who goes missing in the middle of a snowstorm and may not want to be found. Then Mike is confronted with his own baffling cases: he discovers a dead body whose driver's license claims he is none other than Mike Bowditch himself. He tracks down a sinister prowler who turns a couple's dream vacation home into a nightmare. An investigation into the killing of a bald eagle unearths an old case of a missing young man whose physically abusive brother might have murdered him. And then Mike must hunt down a killer who uses the unlikeliest of murder weapons: rattlesnakes. And in the final short story, Sheep's Clothing, Mike suspects there's more to a grisly murder-suicide than meets the eye."--
