Murder on Mount Desert

by David Rawson

Book Overview

A fast-moving plot, vivid local color, & plenty of action characterize this mystery/adventure novel set on the "quiet side" of Mt. Desert Island. A seemingly routine evening's duty for Sheriff's Department patrolman Jimmy Hoitt quickly develops into a complex investigation when the victim of a hit-and-run turns out to have been in the Federal Witness Protection Program. High speed chases, a terror-filled hour with Jimmy as the target of a sniper, & heart-stopping moments on the cliffs of Cadillac Mountain keep the story rolling.

Customer Reviews

A well-crafted and entertaining suspense yarn

David Rawson has created a believable Maine town with interesting and quirky characters. His attention to detail puts an interesting twist on an old formula. A genuinely enjoyable page turner. I'm looking forward to his next novel, and wouldn't mind hearing from these characters again.
