In his fourth book about his life as a state game warden, Wasserman writes about his experiences tracking down wildlife poachers from the city streets of Philadelphia to the rugged mountains of northern Pennsylvania. Join him as he encounters some of the most unpredictable-and interesting characters under the sun. Some are likable, others absolutely despicable, but they all have one thing in common: a blatant disregard for our natural resource laws and a sense of fair play. Track of the Poacher contains eight of his most memorable tales to date. In A Question of Proof two hunters are discovered with a trophy ten-point buck. They seem like easy-going fellas and admit to using illegal bait to lure the deer onto their property. But the case takes a dramatic turn of events after Wasserman files charges and they hire a high-priced city attorney to defend them in court.In Voice in the Wilderness Wasserman travels into the city of Philadelphia to pursue big game poachers on their own turf. The men refuse to admit they've killed anything, and Wasserman must resort to his vast knowledge of investigative techniques in order to apprehend them.Lost Boys is about two teenage poachers: one a good kid who has always stayed out of trouble, the other a hardened deer killer who convinces the other to accompany him on an illegal night hunt. It's an intriguing story about how two youths with completely different personalities react when they find themselves in trouble with the law.In Dazed and Confused Wasserman writes about incidents where the poachers can't seem to understand right from wrong. Some of the characters in this story are so feral they'll make your scalp crawl. An Inconvenient Truth is a story about a woman who overhears a conversation about a bald eagle that has been shot. The incident sparks an investigation by state and federal game wardens armed with a search warrant. It has a surprise ending that you'll remember long after you put the book down.In Anatomy of a Shooting Wasserman skillfully narrates the details of several hunting accidents he investigated over the years, explaining how and why the hunters were shot while in plain view of their offenders. You'll feel like you're right there watching everything happen in front of your eyes. It's a must read that might just save your life one day.Deceit, Lies and Alibis is about poachers who will do and say just about anything in order to kill over the limit of game. But Wasserman uses a few tricks of his own to get confessions from these outlaws.Outlaw Trappers is about a man who should have been born a hundred years ago. He is a self-professed outlaw who traps out of season, uses illegal traps, and trespasses on private property at will. Although he's a hardened career poacher, don't be surprised if find yourself feeling a little sorry for him by the end of the story.
