Bearskin, McLaughlin - B

                                                Last year, this book won the Edgar Award for a debut mystery novel.  Rice Moore is on the run from the Sinola cartel and has found a nice gig as a mountain topcaretaker in Virginia. He watches over some land in a preservation trust and can go weeks without talking to or seeing a soul. Unfortunately, poaching bears for body parts is an issue he faces, and one thing leading to another involves him with the local police. He knows the second his name is in the system, someone back in Arizona will find out where he is. He begins his preparations and is ready when the avenger shows up. Classic beach read material.
