THE BIG BAD WOLF IS DEAD…and what’s worse, he was murdered.

Alarick is the biggest and baddest wolf of the Tooth & Claw games – a legendary contest where Wolves battle Reds in a vicious game of “What’s the Time, Mr Wolf?” But when Alarick drops dead in the middle of the championship final, his rival Ruby Red is horrified…because she gets the blame.
Realizing she has been framed for the crime, Ruby and her wolf-cub friend Fillan go on the run, determined to find the real murderer. But with a dogged detective, a wolf assassin and a gangster granny on their tails, they’re going to need all of Ruby’s Tooth & Claw skills to save themselves and hunt down the truth.

A super-pacy fairy-tale crime romp, from the bestselling author of The Train to Impossible Places, for fans of Murder Most Unladylike and twisted fairy tales like Disney’s Descendants.
