Unmasked

Veterinarian Milly Smith works in a zoo surrounded by resurrected Ice Age megafauna—mammoths, woolly rhinos, giant short-faced bears, enormous apes—brought to life by de-extinction geneticists. They may be fine playing god, but Milly cares deeply for each and every creature 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 in a deadly game. One Milly doesn’t even know she’s playing.

Catch the Killer, Save the Bear Veterinarian Milly Smith is living her dream, working in a zoo populated by de-extinct creatures resurrected from ancient DNA: Mammoths and mastodons, dire wolves and do-dos, camelops and sabre-toothed cats.

But a routine surgery on a massive short-face bear goes horribly wrong and a colleague is dead. The bear is slated to be destroyed unless Milly can prove the animal was used by a diabolical killer as a murder weapon.

A killer whose attention has turned to Milly.

This book includes murder, unrequited love, and the largest bears ever on earth.

Unmasked is the unputdownable first novel in the De-Extinct Zoo Mystery science fiction series. If you like tenacious heroines, prehistoric beasts, and eye-opening twists, then you’ll adore Carol Potenza’s walk on the wild side.
