Virtual Author Talk: Paul Doiron "One Last Lie"

Description

Join best-selling Maine mystery author Paul Doiron as he talks about “One Last Lie,” the 11th book in his Mike Bowditch-series, during a virtual talk with the Jesup Memorial Library on Thursday, July 16 at 7 p.m.
 
In “One Last Lie,” the disappearance of Bowditch’s mentor reveals an ominous connection to a 15-year-old cold case. “Never trust a man without secrets,” these are the last words retired game warden Charley Stevens tells Bowditch, before the Stevens vanishes without explanation into a thousand miles of forest along the Canadian border. Bowditch believes his friend’s disappearance has to do with an antique badge found at a flea market—a badge that belonged to a game warden who was presumed dead fifteen years ago but whose body was never recovered. On a mission to find Stevens, Bowditch 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.
 
Publisher’s Weekly writes that in “One Last Lie,” “Edgar finalist Doiron artfully blends a whodunit plot with superior characterizations in his top-notch 11th mystery…vividly portrays the Maine woods setting while maintaining taut suspense.” And Booklist adds, “Doiron’s masterful plotting pulls it all together, and the reader gets to meet an odd assortment of extraordinarily well-defined characters—good guys and bad—while learning more about both the natural and the political history of the Pine Tree State.”
 
The first book in Dorion’s Bowditch series, “The Poacher’s Son,” won the Barry award, the Strand award for best first novel, and has been nominated for the Edgar, Anthony, and Macavity awards in the same category. His books have won many awards, have been on the USA Today bestseller’s list and have been published in 11 languages. Dorion is the Editor Emeritus of Down East: The Magazine of Maine, having served as Editor in Chief from 2005 to 2013, before stepping down to write full time. He is a Registered Maine Guide specializing in fly fishing and lives on a trout stream in coastal Maine with his wife, Kristen Lindquist.
