Elephants Cry is a dialogue of crime and passion. It’s a story of a young couple’s love affair, of a pair of fumbling detectives attempting to find self-esteem, of a little girl’s love for animals, and of an emotionally disturbed and grotesque-looking woman all of whom become entangled in a cold case mystery. Detective Jack Reinhardt searches for a single piece of evidence that will bring closure to a perplexing and unsolved crime. University student and part-time zoo employee Justin Lombardi takes over the duties of trainer for Buster the elephant. Within the book, there is a definite affinity between existence in the big city and life at the zoo.
