Escape Clause

Plot:  Drop of blood leads to identification of one of the kidnappers.  Peck (main villain) kills him with tranquilizer dart, stuffs him in refrigerator, and dumps him in river.  Immediately discovered by fisherman.  Peck then kills again--this time the brother of his first victim--because the brother would kill him once he discovers the first murder.  Peck (MD who can't practice because he drugged and assaulted female patients) feeds 2nd victim's legs to the female tiger still alive.

Exciting stuff.  Chase sign with animal activist trying to kill dealer in bear gall bladders.  Virgil's girlfriend beaten up by non-union bosses (she's mistaken for her sister).

Funny stuff:  Peck set up nipple emojis that failed.  Fishermen buy fudgesicles, beer, chew for morning cat fishing.
Nice mix of suspense and comedy.  Fast-paced.

He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
