Animal Badge Thomas Zahler

In the ranks of the Metro Police, no cop was tougher than Robbery Homicide Detective Tony Kane. Once the scourge of the city's criminal underworld, Kane now finds himself riding out his last days on the job in the last place that will have him... the Metro Police's Animal Division. Busting wayward pets and their careless owners is no beat for the city's meanest cop - and his cat-loving partner, Officer Sheila Donnelly, agrees - but when a routine incident of porcine assault and battery becomes a murder investigation, the only way to crack the case will be by combining the talents of city's kindest and warmest animal cop with those of its hardest-boiled homicide detective! Written by Naren Shankar, writer/producer of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and Javier Grillo-Marxuach, creator of The Middleman comics and TV series, Animal Badge mixes swift justice and cute critters... and brings new meaning to the phrase "this time it's paw-sonal"!
