From the Publisher (HarperCollins): Little is known about the Labrador Duck, which once roamed eastern North America but has been extinct for more than one hundred years. Stuffed specimens, housed under glass or on shelves in museums and private collections around the world, are rare—only 55 are known to exist. Even more rare is the kind of scientist who would, given the task of writing a small species account about the Labrador Duck, travel around the world more than three times in search for every last stuffed bird. That rare specimen is Dr. Glen Chilton, a biologist with a self-professed obsessive personality. (“They say that some children suck their thumb while still in the womb; I spent those nine months chewing my fingernails.”) His pursuit of the rare, extinct species took him across Europe, the United States, and Canada. Over the course of his epic journey, Chilton encountered a colourful collection of amateur ornithologists, scientists, and journalists, and earned numerous hangovers, swam naked in a glacier-fed stream, and narrowly avoided arrest in New York City. What about the curse? Everyone who has owned one of the stuffed specimens has come to a bad end, whether going to jail or even dying mysteriously. The Curse of the Labrador Duck is a quest unlike any other, an impulsive journey around the planet in pursuit of a bird no one has seen alive in our lifetimes.
