A Spill of Sangria Blood: A Diablo Valley Zoo Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798346695844)

In the heart of Diablo Valley Zoo, where the call of the wild meets the secrets of humankind, something sinister lurks behind the cages. The quiet life of the zoo is shattered when Tom Dantry, beloved superintendent, is found dead in the lion enclosure with a tranquilizer dart lodged in his temple. It's a murder designed to stun even the most hardened investigator, and one that hits too close to home for Torely Stone, the chief of zoo security and Tom's oldest friend.

Torely, who's dedicated his life to protecting the zoo and its animals, now faces his most daunting task yet: finding Tom's killer. As he digs deeper into Tom's life and uncovers hidden motives, Torely must navigate dangerous territory-both inside and outside the zoo walls. With each discovery, the risk grows, and the killer is still lurking close by, ready to strike again.

In A Spill of Sangria Blood, the first installment of the Diablo Valley Zoo Mystery series, readers are drawn into a world where mystery prowls in the shadows and no one-human or animal-can be trusted. Torely will need every ounce of his cunning, courage, and loyalty to solve the case, but will he make it out alive?
