[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Paul Doiron** (Author)

**For the first time in print, _Skin and Bones_ features a collection of eight gripping original short stories in the bestselling Mike Bowditch series--including one brand new, never-before-published story--from Edgar-award nominated author Paul Doiron.**

In **THE BEAR TRAP**, legendary Maine woodsman and bush pilot Charley Stevens tries to convince young Mike of the dangers awaiting rookie game wardens.

**RABID** draws Mike into the story of a gruesome case involving a bat with rabies from his Charley Steven's past (_2019 Edgar award nominee for Best Short Story_).

When a visiting hunter goes missing in the middle of a snowstorm, a young Charley Stevens sets off to rescue him--but begins to suspect the man may not want to be found in **BACKTRACK.  
**  
In **THE** **IMPOSTER**, Mike is confronted with a baffling case of stolen identity when he discovers a dead body whose driver's license claims he is none other than Mike Bowditch himself.

Mike tracks down a sinister prowler who turns a couple's dream vacation home into a nightmare in **THE CARETAKER**.

An investigation into the killing of a bald eagle in **SKIN AND BONES** unearths an old case of a missing young man whose physically abusive brother might have murdered him.

In **SNAKEBIT**, Mike must hunt down a killer who uses the unlikeliest of murder weapons: rattlesnakes.

_(Brand New!)_ Mike suspects there's more to a grisly murder-suicide than meets the eye in **SHEEP'S CLOTHING.  
**  
Critically acclaimed for his brilliant crime novels, Paul Doiron proves he is also the master of short story in _Skin and Bones_.
