Coyote, Canvas and a Corpse

Who needs a police K9 unit when you've got a cat like Merlin?

From meticulously crafted fakes to hidden ledgers revealing millions in illegal sales, this duo navigates a world where every beautiful piece could hide a dark secret, and even a genius cat can get kidnapped.
