Summary

Life in the Far Woods tends to be tranquil because the animal denizens are strictly forbidden to kill, or eat one another. An elderly detective, Chief Badger, oversees the community and solves its petty crimes. His restless assistant, Badgercat, longs for some excitement - a desperate crime, a beastly crime. The brash youngster's hopes are realized when some frogs reveal the shocking news of Rabbit's murder. Wolf appears to be the most likely culprit, because he's a lone wolf without an alibi, but Badger refuses to jump to conclusions. With the help of Vulture the crime scene investigator, Mouse the psychologist, brave witness Beetlebug Buck and other creatures, the woodland detectives set out to discover the truth
