A Hunt for Justice-The True Story of Woman Undercover Wildlife
Agent, is a gripping account of life inside an illegal Alaskan
big game hunting camp as told by the only woman to conduct a major federal
undercover investigation inside such a camp. In late August 1992, while
working as a US Fish and Wildlife special agent, Lucinda Delaney Schroeder
leaves her husband and seven-year-old daughter behind and poses as a big
game hunter, infiltrating a ring of international poachers who are out
to kill the biggest and best of Alaska's wildlife. Beneath the façade
of a legal hunting operation, a network of guides and pilots collaborate
to kill Alaskan big game animals to satisfy the insatiable demands of
wealthy European trophy hunters. These criminals are so wily and suspicious,
that their crimes can best be cracked from the inside by a woman.
This rare look inside an illegal big game hunting camp details the crimes,
cover-ups and conspiracies committed by hunters and guides who live by
the creed of greed. As much as an exciting outdoor adventure and crime
story, A Hunt for Justice is a story of a woman
in a man's world, a woman surviving in the wilderness, a woman seeking
justice for wildlife, and a mother struggling to return safely to her
family. Driven and compelled to put together an airtight criminal case
for the sake of wildlife, and make it home alive, nothing stops her!
