In a city where fog covers more than just the streets, Johnny Rossi-San Francisco's fastest-talking, chain-smoking private eye-is about to face a case that claws deep. It begins with a missing Bengal Tiger from the San Francisco Zoo. But what starts as a strange headline quickly spirals into a deadly hunt through the city's underbelly. With the help of his Chinatown ally, Ying Yip, Rossi uncovers a shadowy smuggling operation, secret science experiments, and a mysterious network known only as the Obsidian Circle. From rain-slick alleys and penthouse boardrooms to forgotten tunnels and offshore black sites, Rossi follows a trail of secrets that leads far beyond stolen animals-and deep into a conspiracy that blurs the line between predator and prey. As ghosts of the past resurface and the stakes turn personal, Rossi must decide what kind of man he is-and how much he's willing to risk to bring one Bengal Tiger safely home. Fast-paced and laced with grit, The Case of the Missing Tiger is a hardboiled mystery with a soft heart... and claws.
