Publisher Description
In the tradition of The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean comes Winged Obsession—a gripping, real-life thriller that exposes the seedy underbelly of illegal butterfly trading. An acclaimed mystery writer and respected journalist specializing in wildlife issues, author Jessica Speart tells an extraordinary but true tale of greed, obsession, and sexual temptation, masterfully chronicling the downfall of the “Indiana Jones of insects” through the determined efforts of a rookie Fish and Wildlife agent who put his life on the line to stop him.

Had me hooked
This is a very addictive true story that had me hooked the whole way through. It made me very up set to know how little is provided to fish and wild life to protect endangered species, big and small. It's sad to think that beautiful species of butterflies are going extinct because people rather enjoy them dead than alive.
