The Coyote’s Tale is a Noir adventure set in the steamy streets of “the Big Easy” New Orleans, Louisiana. This tale follows detective Coyote as he struggles to solve the case of the murdered bunny, reveal the true nature of Ms. Fox, and not derail his relationship with Ms. Ocelot. All the time he is dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) that can be traced back to his war years.

A young mink was on stage dancing, way too slowly for the music that was playing. Was she high at four o’clock in the afternoon, or did she just no longer care? Two small black bears and a pig were sitting in chairs below the stage. They drank and smoked, but their eyes never left the young mink.
