Book Description
A “well-written, engaging detective story” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) about a rogue who trades in rare birds and their eggs—and the wildlife detective determined to stop him. 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 McWilliam 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. It’s a story that’s part true-crime narrative, part epic adventure—and wholly unputdownable until the very last page.

Book Description
What is so compelling about falconry? Tim Gallagher mines his lifelong obsession with falcons for an answer in this engaging book interweaving memoir, history, and travelogue. A fascinating subculture of the ancient sport of falconry exists outside the mainstream of American society. Obsessed individuals train and speak in the same manner used by falconers for centuries. One of the legendary figures in that ancient world was Frederick II, the thirteenth-century Holy Roman Emperor and notorious freethinker who brought the full wrath of the medieval church down upon his dynasty. Gallagher sees parallels between his own life and that of Frederick II, and while following in Frederick's footsteps through southern Italy, he ponders the passion for falconry that ignited within him at the age of twelve. Beset by a turbulent childhood and dominated by a brutal and violent father, Gallagher turned to the sport for emotional release and found much more. Falcon Fever provides a rare glimpse into contemporary falconry, and at the same time offers a surprisingly frank and revealing personal story. Book jacket.
