Seven Dead Fish

Idaho game warden, Charley Cove, is back. He's strapped with post-traumatic stress from events chronicled in the debut novel, Five Fingers. Cove is called to an accident scene by a small-town sheriff to help investigate a morbid discovery. In the meantime, Charley is perplexed by a different problem-dead fish. The sheriff keeps trying to drag him into what he has assumed is a homicide, while Cove struggles to solve his own mystery. And all the while, a demoniacal antagonist dances in the shadows. The riveting tale of Seven Dead Fish, as seen through Cove's Native American eyes, leaves you walking a tightrope between the innocence of nature and the evil of humanity.

Tony Latham grew up hankering to be a game warden like his great uncle Hawley Hill in the 1950s and ’60s. His first career involved chasing wildfires in the interior of Alaska. (He claims to have caught one once.) After his fire career Tony spent 22 years pursuing wildlife thieves both in and out of uniform with Idaho Fish and Game.
