Dedication
This book is dedicated to a lifelong friend whose shadow has fallen across many of my books, this one in particular. While he was creating a rangy, redheaded detective who has since become world famous, I settled for a small... (show all)er audience, readers who might not feel at home on the streets and boulevards of Miami. If you have one friend like him, you are successful beyond measure.
First words
Along the North Dakota creek I met a tribe that has ever since interested me: the weasel family.
Foreword: Some of the wild animals that roamed the plains and mountains of this country when our forefathers landed and started building a nation have vanished, unable to cope with the white man and his guns and hunting dogs,... (show all) or because man has leveled their forest refuges; but a surprising number still manage to live much as they always did, having adapted themselves to the changed conditions.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)May He go with you when you enter their world.
