The first chapter in the Cold Ways series examines themes of deceit and manipulation. Lost and afraid, Raccoon has stumbled upon the smug Fish lounging in a bathtub. As Raccoon pulls Fish toward his goal of the ocean, a treacherous journey unfolds, and both their lives will change forever.

Each order includes one innocent raccoon, one evil fish in a bathtub, and a string for Raccoon to pull his new friend toward the sea.
