Detective Trigger and the Ruby Collar: Detective Trigger 1 Volume 1

First in a series of middle-grade light novels about a doggy detective on the trail of crooked cats. Can he make this crime their last meow?

Canine private eye Trigger wishes someone would throw him a bone. Without a case to solve, the quick-witted Chihuahua is stuck digging for scraps in a city run by criminal cats.

So he thinks his luck has changed when a classy dame hires him to find her priceless stolen collar. With his client insisting that an infamous master thief must have taken the jewel-studded accessory, Trigger sniffs around for clues. But what he digs up is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take down the city’s wicked feline kingpin.

Can Trigger restore law and order, or is he barking up the wrong tree?

Illustrator for Detective Trigger. Mr. Brogath is a raccoon who writes, and sometimes teaches others to do the same. A muse who wasn’t great at his job, he has taken many forms over the years. Even a human one, though he only uses it when absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, they refuse to assign things like social security numbers to raccoons. Such nonsense. These days, he mostly hangs around online in this virtual raccoon form you see here. If you don’t see him digging through your trashcan, he’s probably writing another light novel. M.A. Owens is the pen name used by author Mr. Brogath for Tales of Love and Magic, a yuri light novel series.
