Summary
On a cool June evening in 2009, twenty-year-old American flautist Edwin Rist grabbed hundreds of bird skins -- some collected 150 years earlier -- and escaped into the darkness. Two years later, Kirk Wallace Johnson was consumed by the strange case of the feather thief. What would possess a person to steal dead birds? This is the gripping story of a bizarre and shocking crime, and one man's relentless pursuit of justice
