On May 3, 2010, an Irish national named Jeffrey Lendrum was apprehended at Britain's Birmingham International Airport with a suspicious parcel strapped to his stomach. Inside were fourteen rare peregrine falcon eggs snatched from a remote cliffside in Wales. So begins a vivid tale of obsession and international derring - do (Publishers Weekly) following the parallel lives of a globe - trotting smuggler who spent two decades capturing endangered raptors worth millions of dollars as race champions and Detective Andy Mc William of the United Kingdom's National Wildlife Crime Unit who's hell bent on protecting the world's birds of prey. Masterfully constructed (The New York Times) and entertaining and illuminating (The Washington Post) The Falcon Thief will whisk you away from the volcanoes of Patagonia to Zimbabwe's Matobo National Park and from the frigid tundra near the Arctic Circle to luxurious aviaries in the deserts of Dubai all in pursuit of a man who is reckless arrogant and gripped by a destructive compulsion to make the most beautiful creatures in nature his own.
