In this whimsical children's story, a variety of woodland animals, including a bear, fox, eagle, and snake, are on the hunt for dinner. Their adventure takes an unexpected turn as they follow a small mouse, who seeks friendship rather than food. Told in charming rhyme, the narrative explores themes of cooperation and bravery, posing the question of who truly is the cleverest in the forest. Will the animals find their meal, or will the little mouse prove to be the most resourceful of them all?
What caused Jack Quaid to slowly drive away the love of his life? What made him arrive home late one night, sit in front of a camera pouring out his soul, before taking a shotgun and ending his life?

Alex is struggling with her own demons following her partner's violent death some months earlier, but when Jack's suicide brings up some strange questions, the tenacious, no-nonsense cop she once was starts to show itself again.

As Alex digs deeper, it appears Jack may have uncovered a terrible secret, one that could impact on Alex personally.
