Henry Lightstone, the Fish and Wildlife Service's top undercover agent, has been sent with his team on a sting operation to the Pacific Northwest. Posing as corrupt animal smugglers looking to bag... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is easily my favorite Ken Goddard book, and I've now read them all. Like other Goddard thrillers, the pace is fast and the story builds in complexity as it unfolds. He described and portrayed one of the "bad guys" (the gray-eyed Wintersole) so well that the memory of him still gives me the willies. There's a lot of tension coupled with a lot of laughs, which I did not expect. But I found I thoroughly enjoyed Goddard's sense of humor, and Henry Lightstone has become one of my favorite fiction action guys. This book -- with its quirky blend of natural and supernatural, tension and humor -- is different than his previous books and he heads into some rather peculiar territory, but it's a 'landscape' I enjoy, also being a fan of James Rollins novels. I also enjoy the natural landscape of Double Blind (the wetland areas of southern Oregon) and how Goddard draws us into it. Hint to the author: I want to read more Henry Lightstone-centered books, so write them, okay?
An extremely fun book.
