"More of these bullshit excuses & you can get my money from the comfort of a wheelchair." - Trendale

Easy money is hard to pass up, especially when you rig the game to win. Jerman and his best bud do and bet large against an ex-con. They lose, are found out and worst of all, can’t pay.

"Times like this I find panic the easiest and most likely next step."
- Jerman

Now, Jerman has 24 hours to make $15,000 or his buddy is the first to die. He scrambles a job helping an old friend; no questions asked.

"From freezing to roasting in seconds."
- Jerman

It's not long before he is on the run from beasts and badges in the snowy wilderness because unknown to Jerman, what he is really doing is helping a gangster get away with murder.

“I’m still breathing soot, smoke & hellfire.”
- Jerman

In “The Zoo Act,” lessons pile as fast as questions. 1. Trouble comes quick when the “solution” becomes an even bigger problem.

“Good, now I can put two in his head.”
- Det. Lt. Barboza

2. How many people must die because of the contents of a mysterious case?

“I’ll get the case & take care of the cleanup.”
- Chief Detective Stefanka

Plenty.
