Stories

  • International Flavor (Part 3 of 5) · 22 pages

    The Yamapalu authorities jail Tony under suspicion that he killed Lin Sae Woo. After biting one of his cell mates, Tony shows Chief Kulolo the location of the body the inmate buried. After finding and tasting the dead body, Tony identifies the location of a rooster fighting ring on the north side of Yamapalu. Tony and the Chief raid the gangster's lair and recover Poyo, the fighting chicken. As a "favor" to Tony, the Chief lets him into the morgue so he can "investigate" the remains of Lin Sae Woo. Tony has his first taste of Gallasberry.

Publisher’s description

Introducing Poyo! In the cockfighting ring, Poyo is almost impossible to defeat. This makes Poyo's owners very, very rich. It also has a habit of making Poyo's owners very, very dead. Guess who gets assigned to track down Poyo, and the murderers who have stolen him?
