The Big Bad Wolf Murder

About this book

Tooth & Claw is a legendary game and a compelling spectator sport, so Ruby Red is thrilled to be in the championship final. To win, she and her team must outwit Alarick, the infamous Big Bad Wolf.

With just moments to go, Ruby and Alarick come face-to-face but, before Ruby can make a dash for the finish, Alarick collapses and dies. And Ruby becomes suspect number one for his murder!

Realising she is being framed, Ruby and her wolf cub friend Fillan make an audacious escape and go on the run. With Ruby’s training and Fillan’s keen sense of smell to help them, they are hopeful they will find the real murderer. 

But with detectives, assassins, and a gangster granny on their tails, can they get to the truth before it’s too late?

This is a smart, slick, fairytale-inspired whodunnit with lots of twists, turns and false leads. Readers will enjoy trying to spot the clues and working out who the real baddies are before Ruby and Fillan come to a sticky end.

With subtle references to the unconscious prejudices we don’t realise we hold, it’s also a story that may cause us to rethink how we see and treat others.
