Anteater of Death: A Gunn Zoo Mystery Betty Webb Large type / large print edition

Lucy, the pregnant Giant Anteater was framed. But California zookeeper Teddy Bentley must prove Lucy had nothing to do with the body found in her enclosure or her furry friend will be shipped off to another zoo in disgrace. Then things get worse. The snooty folks at Gunn Landing Harbor attempt to evict Teddy from her houseboat, her father gets targeted by a local gangster, and her mother starts introducing her to eligible bachelors. But Teddy has already given her heart to Sheriff Joe Rejas, a migrant workers son. Zoo life, animal lore, and the leaky ups and downs of Central California Coast houseboat living create a thrilling backdrop for murder. The Anteater of Death is first in a series of new Gunn Zoo mysteries. For more, see www.bettywebb-zoomystery.com
