Think you know your dog? You're wrong.
To his owners, Jan and Barbara, Bąbel is a gold-and-white Shih Tzu who is essentially a brain-damaged, nine-pound cloud of joy. He spends his days tripping over food bowls and accidentally falling into slippers to hide his true activities. In reality, the pink glittery bow atop his head is the ultimate camouflage for the most ruthless syndicate boss in the suburban underworld.
While the humans argue over organic kale, Bąbel manages a vast criminal network-from One-Eye's Alley Brigade to the grotesque, mold-mustachioed Sewer Rat Syndicate. But his empire is under threat. A hairless Sphynx cat named Xerxes has arrived from Silicon Valley with a plan for Wireless Tyranny automated feeders that dispense cricket-protein pellets and smart collars that track every move.
Bąbel must mobilize the Five Families to save the streets from a digital noose. Featuring Slavic Sob Stories, biological warfare at a pet megastore, and a Polish grandmother who uses fermented pickles as high-caliber artillery, this is a crime-comedy unlike any other.
Bąbel. Because true power doesn't require long legs. It requires a master plan.
