A Parliament of Owls (6) (Birdwatcher Mystery)

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Agent, Angela Dimato discovers the body of a woman in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge near Denver, Colorado.

She's made some folks mad and, with the help of local police, Angela sets out to crack the seemingly open-and-shut case of murder.

But the investigations takes a sinister twist, putting more lives at stake, and Angela's forced to turn to the case's only eyewitness--a burrowing owl--for answers.
