The Precipice, Doiron - B+

                Warden Mike Bowditch is assigned to the search team when it becomes apparent that two southern coeds are missing on the Appalachian Trail. The story brings together background on the legendary hiking trail and a realistic all hands on deck search in the wilderness. Mike also has to resolve a run in with a family who was one of Maine's first settlers, and today has a 'Deliverance'-like compound in the wild where they grow pot and cook meth. This is the best in the series so far, and it ends with Mike just possibly getting promoted to be an Inspector.
