Pitch Dark by Paul Doiron is a thriller. The setting is near the border of Canada and Maine. The major character is Maine game warden Mike Bowditch. The story begins with a missing person. People do get lost in the woods, but something doesn't add up. Mike comes across a father bringing up his daughter alone. He's homeschooler her. They're secretive. All too soon, a murder occurs. The father and daughter are on the run. The original lost person is found bound up in a trailer. He's not just a random walker who got lost. He's a bounty hunter looking for the father and daughter.
Soon, the pace is frantic. Mike is after the father and daughter who aim for the Canadian border. What shocked me was that the father threatened to shoot his daughter, when Mike got too close to them. How to stop and capture the man before he shoots her? You'll find out when you read the book. I'm not spoiling it for you.
