Summary:  "There's no place like Florida, and in this captivating nonfiction from Rebecca Renner, you get a front row seat to the many curiosities of the Everglades around alligator poaching. Blending nature writing with journalism and more, this is a truly unique read packed with layers to peel back and enjoy."--Barnes&Noble. "To catch a Florida man, you have to become one. When Jeff Babauta joins an undercover sting in the Everglades, he transforms from a by-the-book wildlife officer to Curtis Blackledge - a long-haired, goateed, beer-loving alligator farmer. After 30 years of preserving the rough and wild Florida wildernes, Operation Alligator Thief is Jeff's last hurrah, one final chance to protect the natural world from the plundering of poachers. In search of leads, Jeff follows locals into dimly lit bars, on high-speed boat rides, and across gator-filled waters. The deeper he infiltrates, the better he understands the nefarious yet charming poachers he's after, many of whom turned to poaching out of desperation -- a way to escape poverty and greed holding them down. As the line between Jeff and Curtis blurs, he is caught between his love of wildlife and his growing compassion for the poachers who've welcomed him into their lives. Jeff is surprised to find himself conflicted: Will he be able to complete his mission if it means betraying the people he's come to know in the swamp?(...) "--Jacket.
