Luna Burke and Ned Harrelson are on the run.

Licensed to care for injured and orphaned wildlife, Luna Burke is determined to smuggle a homicidal Bald Eagle out of her husband’s private zoo in Florida, reunite the bird with its mate in Pennsylvania, and get them both to an eagle sanctuary in Canada. Trying to stop her are her furious husband, his bodyguard, and the authorities; aiding and abetting her are a smitten young tech guy, a lethal Navy SEAL turned panther advocate, and an underground railroad of wildlife rescuers. Unflappable is a comic suspense story, an epic road trip, and a page-turning adventure with a big cast of unconventional characters, both human and not.
