“Never trust a man without secrets.”
These are the last words retired game warden Charley Stevens speaks to his surrogate son, Warden Investigator Mike Bowditch, before the old man vanishes without explanation into a thousand miles of forest along the Canadian border.
Mike suspects his friend’s sudden disappearance has to do with an antique badge found at a flea market—a badge that belonged to a game warden who was presumed dead fifteen years ago but whose body was never recovered.
On a mission to find Charley before he meets a similarly dark fate, Mike must reopen a cold case that powerful people, including his fellow wardens—one of whom might be a killer—will do anything to keep closed.
