Detectives River and Meadow are the best in the business. Specialising in the creature crime department, there isn’t a curious case they haven’t faced. That is until they are called to investigate a local vandalism act, that is rather stinky to say the least. Can you help them to follow a strange smell and track down the poop dropping culprit?
