Publisher Comments:

T.C. Boyle's most powerful and fully realized work yet-terrifically exciting and unapologetically relevant (The Washington Post).

Principally 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, When the Killing's Done relates a richly humane tale about the dominion we attempt to exert, for better or worse, over the natural world.

I have always argued that Boyle's writing is hit or miss. He's not always on, but when he is on, he is really, really on. And in this book, he's really on. It's one of my favorites of his works.
