Adieu at the Zoo

The discovery of a dead body in the Jefferson County Zoo's new Wetlands exhibit turns the life of Horticulture Curator Samantha (Sam) Clark, upside down. Who dumped the body and why? And why did a security guard vanish the very next day? Dead bodies and absent staff aren't the only problem Sam has on her hands. The FBI suspects her involvement in an international plant smuggling ring with ties to the zoo. Sam's trying to clear her name and trying NOT to become involved with Dan Saunders, the handsome, divorced, Head of Security at Jefferson Zoo. Is it possible for a widowed Hort Curator to start a new life while someone's out to end her old one? That's what everyone at the zoo wants to know.
