Boyle's most powerful and fully realized work yet-\"terrifically exciting and unapologetically relevant\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cp\u003ePrincipally 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, \u003ci\u003eWhen the Killing's Done\u003c\/i\u003e relates a richly humane tale about the dominion we attempt to exert, for better or worse, over the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10368353\"\u003eT.
