OPERATION CODY
The book

(See attached cover photo)

This true story, told in first-person, follows two undercover Washington game wardens as they work to bring down the Pacific Northwest’s wildlife parts black-market. The undercover game wardens, posing as husband and wife, lure commercial poachers into their trap by operating an undercover wildlife business complete with an enticing website. Follow along as the two wardens risk their lives dealing with dangerous criminals, all the while battling their own administration in an effort to keep their investigation running.

Available on www.amazon.com  or
From the author, for $15.50 (inluding a signed copy and shipping within the US), by contacting the author at:  ucwarden@gmail.com

OK........
I just finished reading this book. It is addictive and difficult to put down. I would like to say I loved it, but truthfully it was sickening.
Sickening to see the wanton waste of animals
Sickening to see the disregard for our natural resources
Sickening to see certain groups of people that feel entitled to "our" resources.

I am angered that this "Operation Cody" was not more successful.

It leaves you hanging a bit at the end wondering what happened to all of the "perps" but since it is so fresh, maybe there are still cases developing?

Overall a good read, entertaining and maddening at the same time.

I give it  :tup:  :tup:

Thanks for the two thumbs up.  Would you mind please writing a review on Amazon?
If it makes you feel a little better, some of the suspects are already serving their prison time.  Others are awaiting trial still.  Once all the cases are done, I promise and update.

Take care.  Todd

Uhmmm yes, just a little. I should have included that in my review as well.

"Derailed by the Jackwagons" could have been the subtitle

1/4 of the way into the book and it's already very exciting.
