The Third Pig Detective Agency by Bob Burke

Page 33:

The Gruffs were three brothers who had come to town a few years ago. After sorting out a little (well big, actually) troll problem we were having at a local bridge (a trollbridge, if you will), they had decided to stay and give the town the benefit of their ‘unique’ skill set–which usually involved threats, intimidation and the carrying of blunt instruments. Starting out as bouncers at ‘Cinders’, one of Grimmtown’s least reputable clubs, they had subsequently branched out into more profitable (and much less legal) operations. Whether it was smuggling live gingerbread men across the border or evicting the old lady in the shoe for not paying the rent, the three billy goats Gruff were usually involved in some capacity.

The Third Pig Detective Agency by Bob Burke

Opening lines:

It was another slow day in the office. Actually, it had been a slow week in the office. No, if truth be known, it had been a lousy month for the Third Pig Detective Agency. That's me by the way: Harry Pigg, the Third Pig.
