There's something rotten in the Jungle Marlot has Trembor back in his life, but why is he growing distant? The lion's legal problems force him to make hard choices when others involve make demands of him. Then the body Marlot investigates points to something rotten happening in their city when he finds out it was paid for years before, while dying only hours ago. And the more he sniffs around this unclaimed body, the more it looks like Trembor's legal trouble might be connected. Join Marlot and Tremor in the final book of this anthropomorphic procedural and find out how far Marlot will go to get what he wants. And if it will, again, be too far.
