Hunt for Justice: The True Story Of An Undercover Wildlife Agent - Softcover

"It's a true story that reads like a mystery."--Tony Hillerman, best-selling author of the Joe Leaphorn series. "A Hunt for Justice is a superb, true-life mystery that raises important issues about the protection of Alaskan wildlife and those criminals who would destroy it. An exceptional debut and a riveting page-turner destined to win Lucinda Delaney Schroeder well deserved praise." --Michael McGarrity, best-selling author of the Kevin Kerney novel series. "A suspenseful page-turner and a tale of true courage, A Hunt for Justice should be read by everyone who cares about wildlife as well as every woman who has struggled for recognition in a male-dominated culture."--Ted Kerasote, author of Bloodties: Nature, Culture, and the Hunt "...Schroeder illuminates an unusual, insular world with unflinching grit and good humor."--Publishers Weekly "...an exciting true-crime tale."--Booklist (American Library Association) "If you only read one book this year, this should be it. Packed with suspense and mystery, it follows a female undercover agent who places herself in a remote Alaskan hunting camp full of outlaws -- outlaws who would kill her in a heartbeat if they learned her true identity. You won't be able to put this riveting book down once you start reading it. It's hard to believe it's not fiction." --Jim Zumbo, Hunting Editor, OUTDOOR LIFE

For thirty years, Lucinda Delaney Schroeder held an unusual government position: she was one of the handful of women special agents with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In August 1992, she accepted an assignment that forever changed--and endangered--her life. She posed as a big-game hunter in Alaska in order to infiltrate an international ring of poachers out to kill the biggest and best of that state's wildlife. A Hunt for Justice recounts her dramatic story--a story she was not legally permitted to write about until her retirement in 2004.
