Arlo Fenn is a detective. Technically. He’s got a badge (somewhere), a notebook (full of meat-related observations), and a holster that refuses to stay where it’s supposed to.

So when a widow calls about her husband’s missing body, Arlo does what any slightly offbeat officer would do: he investigates. And eats lunch. A lot of lunch.
