Life in the Far Forest cannot be called calm: not a day without crimes, chases, suspicions and brutal intrigues. Finally, all the books of the 'Beastly Detective' by Anna Starobinets: 'Lair of the Wolf', 'Right of the Predator', 'Claws of Wrath' and 'Pincher' are published under one cover, and 'Pincher' is published for the first time. Each book is a separate detective story in which the elderly and experienced detective Badger Senior and his assistant, the impudent and desperate Badgercat, are conducting the investigation. All the heroes of this book series are animals, but they know how to love and hate, lie and tell the truth in the face, trust and despair, betray and save no worse than us, humanoid readers.
