NOW IN PAPERBACK!'A true story that reads like a mystery.'-Tony Hillerman'A suspenseful page-turner and a tale of true courage.'-Ted Kerasote, author of Bloodties'Schroeder illuminates an unusual, insular world with unflinching grit.'-Publishers WeeklyFor thirty years Lucinda Delaney Schroeder held an unusual government position: She was one ofa handful of women special agents with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In August 1992 she accepted an assignment that forever changed her life. The petite blonde left behind her husband and seven-year-old daughter in Wisconsin and posed as a divorcee big-game hunter in Alaska in order to infiltrate an international ring of poachers out for trophy wildlife. A Hunt for Justice takes readers alongduring Schroeder's dangerous mission. More than an adventure or true-crime tale, it is the story of a woman surviving in a male-dominated field, a woman against the wilderness, and a wife and mother risking it all for a cause she believes in. Selected for the 2007 Amelia Bloomer Project list of recommended feminist literature for young readers.
