Shell Games: Rogues, Smugglers, and the Hunt for Nature's Bounty

A unique blend of natural history and crime drama, Shell Games by Craig Welch is a riveting tale of rogues, scoundrels, and the hunt for nature’s bounty in the tradition of The Orchid Thief. A stranger-than-fiction true story centered around a larger-than-life character who pursued a larger-than-life clam — the Geoduck — and then led wildlife police on a two-year-long chase, Shell Games is enthralling and remarkable from page one on.
