The Lady and the Tiger

From a New York Timesbestselling author, a doctor travels to a colony planet with her animal assistants and stumbles upon a criminal conspiracy.

Dr. Shona Taylor takes on a new assignment on a new space colony, and discovers a chilling reality behind a picture perfect planet . . . What price for paradise?

Jardindor is, by most estimates, a new Eden: from the number of trees to the exact spacing of every lamppost and garden, the alien planet is perfection, a totally controlled terraformed world on the outreaches of colonized space. When Dr. Shona Taylor receives her posting as physician to the settlers on Jardindor, she packs up her familychildren and medical menagerie, as well as Chirwl, the alien ottleexpecting a very serene six months. But the people of Jardindor are guarding more than their perfect world. They're hiding a dark secret, and as Shona learns more about her new hosts and their strange fascination with animals, her new job turns into a nightmare.
