For a world where half-human, half-animal chimeras live and work alongside normal people, a handful of bad apples are bound to be in the batch. Sadly, it means non-human clues which sometimes leave the police stumped. That's where detectives from lone wolf including Hiroshi Inaba come in. He's actually part wolf and has the incredible ability to obtain vital knowledge just by analyzing or degusting a sample of someone's fur! Of course, the ability has also caused Inaba to have a bit of a hair obsession, but that doesn't seem to be a concern for his two assistants.

Inaba's vowed to cut Valentino out of the criminal flock until the Don can scarf down more ungodly money, but he'll have to chew his way through a lot of facts to get his goat. Can sheer diligent detective work behind bars put the baaaaad guys?
