'I didn't have perspective on life until my head got stuck in an elephant's anal tract.'

A romantic night at the zoo ends with a new mystery for milliner and sleuth Catherine Kint.

Before you can say 'monkey business' Catherine and her trusted barman Boris are annoying everyone from zoologists to police. This investigation would challenge the best of detectives, but this is Catherine and Boris.

Secrets, rivalries, lust and egos all set the dung flying. By the time this is finished, reputations will be tarnished, gin will be drunk and someone's gonna get fed to the lions... or some other carnivore.
