may I suggest Paul Doiron. He writes about a game warden in Maine. Wardens in Maine are the police for any crime off roads so he has a lot of plots for poachers, bootleggers, smugglers and murders. Paul used to be a policeman in Portland Maine. I find his characters well fleshed out. Each book stands alone as well as nice to have a few remembered people.
