After much tool-dropping and other displays of incompetence, the job ends with Falk hiding in a room full of chickens, only to be hauled off to jail by a feather-covered cop.

The Art of Glen Loates by Paul Duval (Cerebrus/Prentice-Hall; unpaginated; $35) traces the evolution of the artist's unique style and may inspire some readers to emulate his practice of stalking the wilds to get close to his subjects. But not too close. One of Loates' grizzly bears is lifelike enough...
