Fuchs 8 war immer schon neugierig und ein bisschen anders als die anderen Füchse seiner Gruppe. So hat er die menschliche Sprache gelernt, weil er sich gern in den Büschen vor den Häusern versteckte und zuhörte, wenn die Menschen ihren Kindern Gutenachtgeschichten vorlasen. Die Macht der Worte und Geschichten befeuert seine Neugier auf diese Wesen, bis Gefahr droht: Der Bau eines riesigen Einkaufszentrums zerstört den Wald, in dem die Füchse leben, und sie finden kaum noch Nahrung. Dem stets belächelten Tagträumer Fuchs 8 bleibt nur eines.

Una casa di famiglia, sull'Appennino bolognese. Una vecchia casa. Gli animali sono una presenza nota. Non si tratta sempre di animali domestici, o quantomeno la loro domesticità è lontana dalla nozione tradizionale. Se nell'annus mirabilis 1992 quella di topi, arvicole e ratti era stata una vera e propria invasione, il dibattito si riapre quando arrivano i piccioni con il vaiolo: la sorella del narratore, dolce animalista, si fa in quattro per curarli, e nondimeno cura, almeno idealmente, i topi, anzi i ratti che turbano la quiete della magione.

She hides a few bones in the unused fourth floor of the school for Gus the dog to find.

Holiday time in the Valley, and in the holiday spirit - despite the dismal shape of the finances at the Little Detective Agency - Bernie refers a potential client to Victor Klovsky, a fellow private eye. It’s also true that the case - promising lots of online research but little action - doesn’t appeal to Bernie, while it seems perfect for Victor, who is not cut out for rough stuff. But Victor disappears in a rough-stuff way, and when he doesn’t show up at his mom’s to light the Hanukkah candles, she hires Chet and Bernie to find him.

It's a case with no client and no crime and yet great danger, with the duo facing a powerful politician who has a lot to lose.
