Get your claws on animal noir

There's hard-edged drama, double-crossing detectives and violent murder - without any humans. Animal fiction just got dirty When Chips Hardy's Each Day a Small Victory was published in 2007, it garnered some odd reviews: Shooting and Conservation magazine called it "Beatrix Potter meets the Kray Brothers" and Jake Arnott, a man who knows whereof he speaks, described it as "Pulp Fiction...
