Iris Oakley, pregnant and still mourning her murdered husband, just wants to carry on as a keeper at Finley Memorial Zoo in Vancouver, Washington. But suddenly, alone and with no elephant expertise, she must rescue her boss, Kevin Wallace, from being mauled to death by Damrey, a reliable old zoo elephant. No one knows why Damrey attacked. Urged by coworkers to investigate, Iris discovers a number of motives to kill the foreman. The elephant keepers are locked in a bitter feud, the new veterinarian is keeping secrets, and an old flame still hates Wallace. Adding to the chaos, animal rights activists are picketing the zoo. Then a new foreman shows up with alarming ideas, the police keep dropping by, and animals begin to disappear into thin air.... Ann Littlewood was a zookeeper for the Oregon Zoo for 12 years. She lives in Portland, Oregon, and is a life-long environmentalist and a volunteer with the Audubon Society of Portland. www.annlittlewood.com
