Wildlife Detective is an insightful and humorous account of over forty years policing crime committed against wildlife – deer and salmon poaching, the poisoning of rare birds, egg collecting, cruelty, the taking of freshwater pearl mussels and much more. Inadequacies of earlier legislation are explained as is the painstaking collection of evidence, all interspersed with hilarious accounts of criminals outfoxed, cops wild with frustration and the community’s appreciation of their environment and its wildlife.
