520    Veteran environmental journalist Craig Welch delves into 
       the wilds of our nation's waters and forests in search of 
       some of America's most unusual criminals and the cops who 
       are on a mission to take them down. This thrilling 
       examination of the international black market for wildlife
       is filled with butterfly thieves, bear slayers, and shark-
       trafficking pastors--all part of one of the largest 
       illegal trades in the world.
