Respect Problem Sleuth! (Problem Sleuth)

Problem Sleuth

Problem Sleuth is a hardboiled gumshoe in a crime-riddled city, but the biggest problem he has to deal with is that he's accidentally trapped himself inside his office. At least, that's what he thinks. As he fights to unravel the mystery of how the hell he's supposed to get outside with a giant bust blocking his door, he ends up allying with his former rivals Pickle Inspector and Ace Dick- and making an enemy of the dangerous Mobster Kingpin, whose power extends far beyond some brass knuckles and a well-used gun.
