WINNER OF THE 2019 EDGAR FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL "Bearskin is
visceral, raw, and compelling--filled with sights, smells, and
sounds truly observed. It's a powerful debut and an absolute
showcase of exceptional prose. There are very few first novels when
I feel compelled to circle brilliant passages, but James
McLaughlin's writing had me doing just that." --C.J. Box, #1 NYT
bestselling author of The Disappeared Rice Moore is just beginning
to think his troubles are behind him. He's found a job protecting a
remote forest preserve in Virginian Appalachia where his main
responsibilities include tracking wildlife and refurbishing cabins.
It's hard work, and totally solitary--perfect to hide away from the
Mexican drug cartels he betrayed back in Arizona. But when Rice
finds the carcass of a bear killed on the grounds, the quiet
solitude he's so desperately sought is suddenly at risk. More bears
are killed on the preserve and Rice's obsession with catching the
poachers escalates, leading to hostile altercations with the locals
and attention from both the law and Rice's employers. Partnering
with his predecessor, a scientist who hopes to continue her
research on the preserve, Rice puts into motion a plan that could
expose the poachers but risks revealing his own whereabouts to the
dangerous people he was running from in the first place. James
McLaughlin expertly brings the beauty and danger of Appalachia to
life. The result is an elemental, slow burn of a novel--one that
will haunt you long after you turn the final page.
