The traditional firearm deer season in Michigan lasts two weeks, a time in which the most hunters are afield during the year and the time when most things happen. Game wardens cannot count on having any life but work during this period, and in this case Grady Service, who takes longtime violator and archrival Limpy Allerdyce on as his partner for deer season runs into the most bizarre string of big cases involving deer that he has ever encountered. Buckular Dystrophy is the term coined by Conservation Officers to describe the condition whereby people cannot help killing deer, not for sport or food, but for other reasons - an addiction of sorts, and unlike other addictions, one not medically organized, but just as real.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for Joseph Heywood's Woods Cop Mystery series "Heywood is a master of his form." --Detroit Free Press "Crisp writing, great scenery, quirky characters and an absorbing plot add to the appeal...." --Wall Street Journal "Heywood has crafted an entertaining bunch of characters. An absorbing narrative twists and turns in a setting ripe for corruption." --Dallas Morning News "Top-notch action scenes, engaging characters both major and minor, masterful dialogue, and a passionate sense of place make this a fine series." --Publishers Weekly "Well written, suspenseful, and bleakly humorous while moving as quickly as a wolf cutting through the winter woods. In addition to strong characters and . . . compelling romance, Heywood provides vivid, detailed descriptions of the wilderness and the various procedures and techniques of conservation officers and poachers.... Highly recommended." --Booklist "Joseph Heywood writes with a voice as unique and rugged as Michigan's Upper Peninsula itself." --Steve Hamilton, Edgar(R) Award-winning author of The Lock Artist<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Joseph Heywood is the author of The Snowfly, Covered Waters, The Berkut, Taxi Dancer, The Domino Conspiracy, the nine previous Grady Service Mysteries, Hard Ground: Woods Cop Stories, and the Lute Bapcat Mysteries Red Jacket and Mountains of the Misbegotten.
