An enthralling story set in the surprisingly murky and high-stakes world of fossil collectors, the central preoccupation of this book is an international custodial battle over a nearly complete dinosaur skeleton. Meticulously reported and rivetingly told, this work of investigative writing matches the suspense of a thriller with a deeper contemplation of the relationship human being have with natural history and its commercialisation.
