In “Trafficking, a Memoir of an Undercover Game Warden” retired Idaho conservation officer Tony Latham recounts a case that changed his life 20 years ago. It involved a few Nez Perce, a group of non-Indians and the criminal trafficking of big-game animals out of the Orofino area.

“Even though I was 41 when I worked that case I still look back and consider myself a kid, maybe not a kid but an innocent,” says Latham, 60. “I didn’t know how bad the ugly side of life could be. … Some of the stuff that happened during that case I couldn’t even imagine.”

He wrote the book to let go of things that still bothered him, he says, but he also wrote it to give the public a look at the detailed cases officers must build in order to prosecute wildlife thieves. He'll sign copies of the book from 3-6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6 at And Books Too in Clarkston.
