In a city where crime pays, one detective is about to bite off more than he can chew. Trigger's learned to keep his head down in Arc City's most dilapidated district, content with scraping by on small-time cases. But when an affluent client hires him to track down her stolen ruby collar, the one-eyed private eye finds himself pulled into a web of organized crime that stretches from the city's darkest alleys to its most opulent penthouses. As he digs deeper, Trigger uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the very soul of Arc City - one masterminded by Mr. B, the infamous feline crime lord who holds both the police and the politicians in his pocket. With unlikely allies including a master thief and the kingpin's own estranged daughter, Trigger must decide if he's willing to risk everything to take on a corrupt system. But in a city where good deeds earn you a one-way trip to the bottom of Arc City River, this could well be Trigger's final case. --- Blending classic noir mystery like Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep with the anthropomorphic cast of Brian Jacques' Redwall , Detective Trigger and the Ruby Collar offers a fresh take on the private eye genre that readers young and old can enjoy.
