The Feather Thief by Kirk Wallace Johnson

Introduction

We highly recommend this book for anglers and non-anglers alike. The Feather Thief takes you through some history before launching into a real-life drama that impacts the angling community and beyond. We think you’ll have a hard time putting this book down. Author Kirk Wallace Johnson was waist high in a river in northern New Mexico when his fly-fishing guide told him about the heist this book is centered around. He was soon consumed by the strange case of the feather thief. What would possess a person to steal dead birds? Had the thief paid the price for his crime? What became of the missing skins? In his search for answers, Johnson was catapulted into a years-long, worldwide investigation. The gripping story of a bizarre and shocking crime, and one man’s relentless pursuit of justice, The Feather Thief is also a fascinating exploration of obsession, and man’s destructive instinct to harvest the beauty of nature.
