On July 16, 1992, Robert Moulton, a special agent of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, saw the biggest case of his sixteen-year career climax in a Connecticut courtroom where Marius Meiring, a former South African military officer, pleaded guilty to charges of running an illegal and highly unusual smuggling operation between Africa and the U.S. But Moulton's investigation had stumbled upon much more. The affair provided a rare glimpse into the sleazy underworld of the endangered species trade. The trail Moulton pursued led to or passed near the South African government and U.S. mercenaries.
