Former library book, nonsmoking home have pets

Very interesting book, not only about the dead tree, but the area history, from fur trade with China to ship repair industry in Hawaii to early tree chopping to clear cutting of a vast, exhaustable resource that once extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The word firestorm comes from... Michigan! Today, the demand for lumber has divers logging at the bottom of the Great Lakes for rare wood.
The book, however, is focused on the disappearance -murder?- of a man who cut down a sacred mutant tree to protest the rampant cutting.
