description: Winner of the Agatha Award for Best First Domestic Mystery Novel. 'A finely tuned first novel.' - Booklist It had been thirty-one years since Katherine Driscoll had seen her father. Then he sent a cryptic letter. He knew she was in trouble - about to lose everything to creditors. He was offering his help. Katherine went to meet him at the Austin Zoo, where he was senior keeper of the large cats. But she just missed him - he'd been mauled to death by a tiger. Katherine took a job at the zoo and started probing into her father's bizarre death, resulting in a face-off with a killer who had waited thirty-one years for revenge.
