ISBN: 0888012918 ISBN-13: 9780888012913 Publisher: Turnstone Press OUR PRICE: $9.89 Product Type: Mass Market Paperbound - Other Formats Published: July 2003 Annotation: Most biologists believe the worst thing about field work is watching everything else have sex except you. Robyn Devara is no exception. In the remote logging town of Marten Valley, Robyn knows she's not likely to win popularity contests, much less get any dates. After all, she's there to survey the old-growth forest for spotted owls, and, if she finds any of the endangered birds, it's going to mean big changes for the people of Marten Valley. Robyn believes no one in town knows about the spotted owls, but a militant environmental group has somehow found out and is busily organizing protests and sabotaging logging equipment. The old growth loggers respond with their own demonstrations, fighting back to save their way of life. As it turns out, hostile locals and militant environmentalists are the least of Robyn's problems after she discovers a body in the forest--the body of a logging foreman, murdered by the well-aimed thrust of a tree spike. |
