Time is running out for Dr. Minh Tran. Desperate to save her father, Linh plunges into Hanoi's lethal underworld, hunting a cure as ancient as it is forbidden.
Her search ensnares her in a bloody web of poachers, smugglers, and killers who traffic in extinction. As bodies pile up and evidence vanishes, a relentless inspector and a passionate conservationist close in from opposite sides.
Stalked by shadowy figures and haunted by impossible choices, Linh discovers a terrifying truth: saving her father may cost her soul—or both their lives.
In this high-stakes game where everyone is both hunter and hunted, survival demands crossing lines that can never be uncrossed.
Paul Smith, BSN, is a former registered nurse turned author whose journey through PTSD has shaped both his life and his creative voice. Born in 1982 and raised in British Columbia, he now resides in Newfoundland and Labrador, where the rugged coastlines mirror the resilience found in his work. A proud graduate of Vancouver Island University, Paul holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Though his nursing career was cut short due to trauma sustained in the ICU, his love of storytelling and deep empathy for others led him to write as a form of healing. Paul is an avid dog lover and a passionate advocate for mental health awareness. His books—including The Zoo Collection—invite readers of all ages into whimsical worlds that reflect human emotion through animal encounters. He writes with the belief that imagination can be a place of recovery, and that everyone belongs at the Zoo.
