David Grann meets Susan Orlean in this page-turning true story of an underground operation into the mysterious world of alligator poaching and its larger than life Floridian characters.
Rebecca Renner’s Gator Country is the twisting true story of the impossible choices individuals must make to stay afloat in this world, and she will join local author Craig Pittman at the bookstore to tell us all about it on November 28, 7:00 p.m. at Tombolo Books.
Through its wholly unique blend of reporting, nature writing, and personal narrative, this book transports readers to vibrant and dangerous Florida landscapes and offers intimate portraits of those who call the region home. Broad in scope and vivid in detail, Gator Country is a fast paced tale of the risks people will take to survive in one of the world’s most beautiful yet formidable landscapes and the undercover investigation that threatens to topple the whole scheme.
