When a controversial environmental
activist known as the Green Man is killed by a
falling redwood branch, P.I. Stuart Winter is
retained by a radical conservation group whose
members believe he was murdered. Reluctant
to leave his home in San Francisco, Winter
travels to the primeval redwood forests of
northern California s Humboldt County, where
he is soon steeped in the lore of the redwoods.
Here he learns that death from falling redwood
branches is not uncommon. In sequoia country
the locals have long called such branches
"widowmakers," a name with a bloody history.
But the activists are not prepared to accept that
explanation; they believe lumber interests did
away with the Green Man to stop their protest
against the cutting of old-growth forest.
As Winter probes into the life of the Green
Man, nee Christopher Shepard, he discovers
that while Shepard was a modern day Johnny
Appleseed who planted more than a million
trees, he had scores of enemies. Not only the
Iocal lumber eompanies but many private
citizens detested him, and the marijuana
growers resented his interference.
