After being defamed by the Three Little Pigs for many years, Mr. Wolf wrestles with the idea of clearing his name.In a book that reads like The Three Little Pigs meet Law and Order, Mr. Wolf decides to buck conventional wisdom and disturb decades of fragile peace in the town of Maplewood. When Mr. Wolf hires an unlikely lawyer to tell his side of the story, The Three Pigs strike back with the formidable Ms. Priggly. As Mr. Wolf rages a legal battle against the pigs, the town is ripped apart as the wolf and the Pigs clash in the civil trial of the century.
