Milk Treading

Danger prowls around every corner in Bast.

Julius Kyle is a down-at-paw journalist with a nose for news, a volatile love life, and an addiction to sour milk. When his editor tells him to investigate a friend's tragic death, Julius finds himself in the Doghouse, a bad neighborhood on the wrong side of the river.

There he finds a gang war that threatens to tear his city apart. Julius's investigation unearths a world of corrupt politics, fluffy assassins, savage dogs, and even an unlikely romance. Amidst the peril, he's determined to write his story and right the wrongs, even if it means using up all nine of his lives.
