LETHAL REMOVAL

by Todd Vandivert

In retired Fish and Wildlife Detective Todd Vandivert’s fourth book of the Wildlife Justice series, Washington Fish and Wildlife Officer Lisa Bennington struggles to determine why several Washington Fish and Wildlife employees have been killed in what appears to be a series of freak accidents. If Lisa is right, and these deaths were the work of a murderer, she must quickly capture the murderer before any other Washington Fish and Wildlife employees lose their lives.What readers have said about the author’s Well, Todd has cranked out another winner. “Lethal Removal” is the fourth book in a series highlighting the investigative prowess of Wildlife Officer Lisa Bennington of Omak, Washington. Like the others, “Lethal Removal” is atypical of the Game Warden genre of books. Instead of the stereotypical big game case, Lisa finds herself and her co-workers in the midst of an investigation into a little known segment of domestic terrorism, eco-terrorists. Todd not only informs the reader of the diversity, lunacy, and motivation behind these terrorists, but he does it with an enjoyable, quick read that it is difficult to put down. Corky RobertsSpecial Agent/Pilot Ret. U.S Fish and Wildlife ServiceTodd’s fictional writing highlights some of the unique aspects of the American Game Warden’s work, a point of view that is rarely written about in crime novels. While most see a game warden’s work as a simple check of licenses and gear, the truth is, there are many aspects to the job. One is never far from danger when out in the wilds and particularly while interacting with those who profit in exploiting the natural resources. Todd’s writing is both educational and entertaining, and it will leave you yearning for more. Chief Steve BearWashington Department of Fish and Wildlife Police.
