Tony Latham grew up wanting to be a game warden like his great uncle Hawley Hill in the 1950s and ’60s. His first career involved chasing wildfires in the interior of Alaska. (He claims to have caught one once.) After his fire career Tony spent 22 years pursuing wildlife thieves both in and out of uniform with Idaho Fish and Game.
His first book ANALYZING BALLISTIC EVIDENCE, On-Scene by the Investigator is recommended for investigators, crime writers, and evidence aficionados. His second work, TRAFFICKING, A Memoir of an Undercover Game Warden is an engaging story about his first undercover case that stripped his naivete. Both are available online.
He’s now retired and lives and plays in Salmon, Idaho.
Anything new?
I’ve spent the last year working on a piece of fiction. It’s titled, Five Fingers, I wrote it as a nail-biter. It’s set in central Idaho and revolves a small-town game warden chasing a bad guy that should give somebody a nightmare. - Tony
