Who would want the director of the Minnesota Valley Zoo
dead? Everyone! Anthony Wright made a career of getting
what he wanted, whatever the price. When he's murdered and
ends up as a late night snack for the zoo's fifteen-foot crocodile,
few are shedding any tears. After police arrest the lead
crocodile handler, it's up to zookeeper Lavender "Snake" Jones to
prove her friend's innocence. But is she really helping?
Each lie she exposes only serves to strengthen the case against him,
rattles her belief in those she trusts and, in the end, threatens
her own safety. With the help of her Aussie husband,
herpetologist Jeff Jones, Snake hacks her way through the shadowy
underworld of illegal animal trading to uncover a snakepit of
sordid deeds, secret pasts, and corruption.
