Adult Mystery (and in this case, short story)
Finished 1-1-2019
Goodreads rating: 3.92 - 411 ratings
My rating: 4
Setting: Middle-of-nowhere, Maine, contemporary, though the actual story told within the story takes place in the early 1970s.
First line/s: "The wind moved across the surface of the lake like breath upon a mirror."
My comments: Short and sweet, a story told by old-time game warden Charley Stevens to his good friend, new game warden Mike Bowditch, when they were out fishing. The story that Charley tells takes place when he was a new game warden over 35 years previously and had captured a notorious hermit nicknamed "Sweet Tooth" who had been 19 years living and stealing in the Maine woods.
Goodreads synopsis: Legendary Maine woodsman and bush pilot Charley Stevens tries to convince young Mike Bowditch of the dangers awaiting rookie game wardens.
