This powerful debut showcases exceptional prose, leaving readers in awe of the author's talent. While there are only a few first novels that compel me to circle brilliant passages, James McLaughlin's writing had me doing just that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRice Moore believes his troubles are behind him. He has found a job protecting a remote forest preserve in Virginian Appalachia, where his primary responsibilities include tracking wildlife and refurbishing cabins. The solitude is perfect for him to hide away from the Mexican drug cartels he betrayed in Arizona. However, everything changes when Rice discovers the carcass of a bear killed on the preserve. More bears are killed, and Rice's obsession with catching the poachers escalates, leading to hostile altercations with the locals and attention from both the law and his employers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePartnering 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, creating an elemental, slow-burn novel that will haunt readers long after they turn the final page. \"Bearskin\" is a testament to the power of storytelling and the ability of an author to transport readers to new and exciting worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 x 203 x 22 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780062742803\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James A McLaughlin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44098091122938,"sku":"9780062742803","price":6.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/8c2b890514f9ec140809e40050e0f696.jpg?v=1625281948","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/bearskin-a-novel","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
