FARMINGTON — Davaney, Doak and Garrett Booksellers, 193 Broadway, will host an author presentation and book signing of the book “Knife Creek” by award-winning Maine author Paul Doiron. The signing will take place  at 6:30 p.m.,Thursday, June 29.

When Maine game warden Mike Bowditch is tasked with shooting invasive feral hogs that are tearing up the forest in his district, he makes a horrific discovery—a dead baby buried in a shallow grave. Even more disturbing: evidence suggests the infant was the child of a young woman who was presumed to have died four years earlier after she disappeared from a group rafting trip. As Bowditch assists the reopened investigation, he begins to suspect that some of his neighbors aren’t who they seem to be. When violence strikes close to home, he realizes that his unknown enemies will stop at nothing to keep their terrible secrets. Mike Bowditch has bucked the odds his whole career, but this time the intrepid warden may have finally followed his hunches one step too far.

Praise for Doiron’s books: “A violent, suspenseful, fast-paced tale written in Doiron’s customary tight, vivid prose, with his keen eye for both idiosyncratic characters and the beauty of the natural landscape.” — Associated Press

“Doiron [makes] the Maine woods live and breathe… Multidimensional characters and a high level of suspense help make this a winner.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
