Plot Summary of VetCop
"VetCop is the upbeat, hilarious first person account of Paul Conner, small town veterinarian turned cop. A policeman friend calls him to a murder scene one day. Three people have been stabbed, and Paul's job is to rescue a very valuable mynah bird at the crime scene. Within a day, he meets the bird's owner, the luscious Veronica Mason from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Together they confront an organization that specializes in stealing exotic animals, and they won't hesitate to kill to get what they want! Paul and Veronica's fight for justice leads them into a harrowing car chase, the hands of the FBI, and a flight to Alaska to escape world wide attention!"
Donna Conger, Resident Scholar
