<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Principally set on the wild and sparsely inhabited Channel Islands off the coast of Santa Barbara, Boyle's powerful novel combines pulse-pounding adventure with a socially conscious, richly humane tale about endangered animals and those who protect them.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>T.C. Boyle's most powerful and fully realized work yet-"terrifically exciting and unapologetically relevant" (<i>The Washington Post</i>).<p>Principally set on the wild Channel Islands off the coast of California, T.C. Boyle's new novel is a gripping adventure with a timely theme. Alma Boyd Takesue is a National Park Service biologist spearheading the efforts to save the islands' native creatures from invasive species. Her antagonist, Dave LaJoy, is a local businessman who is fiercely opposed to the killing of any animals whatsoever and will go to any lengths to subvert her plans. As their confrontation plays out in a series of scenes escalating in violence, drama, and danger, <i>When the Killing's Done</i> relates a richly humane tale about the dominion we attempt to exert, for better or worse, over the natural world.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>T.
