Beware Sherlock Holmes and Bulldog Drummond! Kalen Gatt vows to become the world's greatest crime fighter. Future detective Kalen Gerald Gatt is six years old and already dreaming of someday becoming a cop. Young Kalen is the first human to confront a Wailin' Beaver, the fiercest creature imaginable. He convinces other members of the Wailin' Beaver Club that one actually bit him. Kale has a very special pet that is murdered. He suspects Caleb Carl Jacoby, a ruthless business man whose disgusting acts keep all who know him under extreme stress, especially Kale's family. Kale fulfill's his dream of becoming a renowned detective, solving tough cases that others are reluctant to tackle. His new chief is a nemesis equal to his archenemy Jacoby. As if these two personalities from hell are not enough, fate deals Kale the harshest blow of all. He attends a reunion of selected high school friends, only to find himself in the clutches of a murdering arsonist. The building is in flames, with those who have not yet been murdered trapped inside. Kale finds an exit just as the building explodes. He is blown from the doorway onto the lawn some distance away. He suffers severe burns over 90% of his body and sixteen broken bones. Can anyone survive such an ordeal? Even one who prides himself on being as tough as a Wailin' Beaver?
