What do you do when a woman shows up at the door claiming you have a troubled half-brother. I add a shot to my beer and make it a combo.
This week's Pick Your Poison—where we create a cocktail inspired by a recently published mystery, thriller, or crime novel—ups the classic boilermaker combo with a smooth shot of New York's own, Widow Jane Bourbon!
Inspired by Paul Doiron's 7th Mike Bowditch novel, Widowmaker, grab yourself a small glass of tasty brown liquid AND a beer for a “Widowmaker Combo” and let's make this a party!
Widowmaker by Paul Doiron is book #7 in the Mike Bowditch series (Available June 14, 2016).
When a mysterious woman in distress appears outside his home, Mike Bowditch has no clue she is about to blow his world apart. Amber Langstrom is beautiful, damaged, and hiding a secret with a link to his past.. She claims her son Adam is a wrongfully convicted sex offender who has vanished from a brutal work camp in the high timber around the Widowmaker Ski Resort. She also claims that Adam Langstrom is the illegitimate son of Jack Bowditch, Mike’s dead and diabolical father. He is the half-brother Mike never knew he had.
