Enola, an ordinary young woman, awakens a strange gift: she can understand the language of all tiny creatures—hamsters, cockroaches, rats, flies, and more. These little critters willingly act as her exclusive informants.
The police hit a dead end on multiple tough unsolved cases, so desperate detectives invite her to work as a special criminal investigation consultant. Instead of sophisticated forensic equipment, Enola relies entirely on her small animal scouts to dig up hidden clues. Hamsters dart through alleys to coordinate rat witnesses; cockroaches sneak into mansions to eavesdrop on suspects’ secrets; flies track the lingering scent of murder at crime scenes.
Three major cases unfold throughout the story: a seven-year-old unsolved serial dismemberment killing spree on rainy nights, the bizarre locked-room death of a corporate executive, and an old apartment axe murder from years prior. Faced with skepticism and mockery from fellow officers, Enola covers up her tiny helpers by claiming she can sense the aura of murder. She travels to dumping grounds, wealthy villas and office buildings with her miniature partners to gather evidence.
She must confront sophisticated, well-off culprits skilled at destroying proof and identify the real killer before another victim falls. While struggling with tough workplace troubles, she unravels layers of mystery with the help of these overlooked little beings and exposes the heinous crimes hidden beneath respectable facades.
