"The Tail-Eaters" is the sixth installment in Anna Starobinets' "Predatory Detective" series. A new, unstudied bite-virus is sweeping through the Far Forest. Dr. Rook is struggling in vain to save the animals' health: there is no cure for the virus, the prognosis for the infected is grim, and safety measures like tail-tying are ineffective. Everything points to the virus being of artificial origin. Who is the evil genius behind this beastly epidemic? The lives of the animals depend on the answer to this question: whoever created the disease must also know the secret to a cure. The Badger Police are hunting the criminal, risking their own hides. And the bite-virus is hunting them—just like the Tail-Eater monster from a children's nursery rhyme.
