The Red Flock: Theft of the Cherry-Throated Tanager

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Portland Power Couple Jed and Lexi Miller, rabid birders, hatch a scheme that turns wealthy friends into a crime syndicate known as the Cardinal 14, illegally importing endangered bird species for their private aviaries. For her 50th birthday, Lexi wants a Cherry-Throated Tanager, a bird she saw as a kid on a trip to a remote Brazilian rainforest with her anthropologist father. The cost for one of only 25 in existence is $1 million. Jed won't settle for less for his 50th. His sights are set on James Audubon's Birds of America, a collection of bird paintings—including images of nine extinct birds—from the early 1800s, which sells for $12 million at auction. When a bookseller and rare book room librarian turn up dead, the FBI and Portland Police—with the help of Veterinarian and Angel of Mercy Jim Briggs—race to bust an international poaching ring and catch the killers before more people die.
