OUTDOORS AND THE BADGE
Tony Latham - Author of Trafficking
“This is a gripping and absorbing true story, skillfully and precisely told. If there is any one book that tells what it’s really like to be on the front lines, protecting our nation’s wildlife, this is the one. Trafficking will quickly pull you in and keep you turning the pages. I promise. You won’t be able to put it down. It’s that good.”
This book is the author’s account of his first major undercover case while working as a game warden. It is full of the suspense, drama, humor and tension that he felt as he assumed another identity as a risk-taking, less than honest smokejumper, fisherman and hunter named Tony Henderson. Along with veteran undercover agent and fellow game warden Mike Best, he visits a remote bed and breakfast near the small town of Orofino, Idaho. The Crabtree is run by a character of questionable morals and cleanliness who keeps extremely questionable and somewhat dangerous company. This is a true account of Tony's experiences with real-life thieves, liars, poachers and murderers. Want to feel what it’s like to buy an endangered species while working undercover?

Five Fingers
This white-knuckled tale is about Idaho game warden Charley Cove struggling to stop a bloody string of deer shot and left in the snow. He’s stymied by a lackadaisical prosecutor and a questionable deputy –plus the tug of two cultures running through his veins that seem to be pulling him in different directions. Cove uncovers evidence that ties the shooter to crimes against people, and unknown to the warden, his bad guy is about to come unglued and drag his bloodbath into a nightmare for a two-legged victim.
