Birdseye CountryEco-terrorism is the deadly threat in Birdseye Country, a novel set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Mike is a forester hired by a timber company to find a timber thief. Instead, he discovers something much deeper, a plan by eco-terrorists to steal valuable birdseye trees to finance their operations. The rare birdseye maple is known for its "eyes" that grow larger as the tree grows, and no two birdseye trees are alike. During his investigation, he meets Carrie, a beautiful investigator with ties to the CIA, and Ed, an older man with a lot of forestry experience and a fascination with UFOs. Mike's seemingly simple assignment runs into some serious trouble when he is betrayed and almost loses his life. |
