Together they solve a magnitude of crimes and cold-cases in the small town of Cranesbill, but In the process they unravel a much deeper and sinister web of mysteries that would end up testing not only their skills as detectives, but also their friendship, tenacity and resilience.

"Detective Edgar Painter," (shakes someone's hand) "I'm with The Reiters' PI department."
(shrugs) "I'm a detective, Ricky, not an artist. They get the message across, what more do we need?"
"Yeah? Well, I think *they* made it quite clear. You don't want me here, I get it. All I am is just a filthy excuse for a dog, and you'd all be better off without me."
