Shell Games: A True Story of Cops, Con Men, and the Smuggling of America's Strangest Wildlife

By (author) Craig Welch

| on special |

normal price: R 447.95

Price: R 402.95


| book description |

A unique blend of natural history and crime drama, Shell Games by Craig Welch is a riveting tale of rogues, scoundrels, and the hunt for nature's bounty in the tradition of The Orchid Thief. A stranger-than-fiction true story centered around a larger-than-life character who pursued a larger-than-life clam--the Geoduck--and then led wildlife police on a two-year-long chase, Shell Games is enthralling and remarkable from page one on.
