Trespasser, Doiron - B+

   This is the second book in the Mike Bowditch series. The Maine Game Warden is called out late at night, near the and of a 12 hour shift, for a car/deer collision.  He finds the car, but there's no driver and the deer is gone. He has an idea which local lowlife may have taken the deer, but for the life of him he can't sort out where the driver went. A state trooper comes by and tells Mike to go home. It's now a police matter and he has it in hand. When it turns out that the driver is found murdered, Mike blames himself and goes off the reservation seeking to find out what happened. Like all police procedural series, this one has its quirks and idiosyncrasies. Here, it is that Mike is a bit smarter than many around him, and likes to charge ahead and cross a lot of lines. Hopefully, as the series progresses, every police officer in Maine isn't mad at him.
