DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS

This has a setting unique in murder mysteries -- the San Diego Zoo. And the use of a chimpanzee armed with an iron bar, wild condors gorging on human flesh, an elephant drowned in the seal's pool, adds horror to a fast paced story involving drug running, a lovely Swedish girl with more money to spend than her waitress job explains, a succession of suspects, and a good deal of false clueing. Slick.
