They may be fine playing god, but Milly cares deeply for each and every animal living in the Pleistocene BioPark. When a series of murders threaten her flock, Milly is drawn into the investigations. Except the murders are only pieces of a deadly game. One Milly doesn't even know she's playing.They witnessed a murder, but who will believe them?Dr. Milly Smith's refuge is her beloved BioPark.
