“The Case of the Mysterious Camel in the Alligator Loafers” proves to be Tibido’s biggest challenge yet.

The FBI wants him to track down an oddball criminal mastermind, a well-clad dude who hides behind a camel’s mask. Known only as Murk, he’s the head of Chupacobra, a secret society linked to high-profile offenses: cybercrime, kidnapping, and murder for hire. He is wanted by the FBI, Interpol, and a dozen other countries.

Murk has been spotted in Washington, less than a mile from FBI headquarters.

Agents believe Tibido, guided by his uncanny sense of smell, can lead them to the shadowy villain and uncover his true identity. 

It's going to be a wild, rollercoaster of a ride with unexpected twists and turns.

Let’s just say that as agents close in, they uncover some startling truths about the man behind the camel's mask.

Catching him will require a novel approach and three highly trained four-legged spies.

The world's most elusive supervillain has been spotted on Pennsylvania Avenue.

There was a lingering chemical odor in the night air. Tibido lowered his nose.

"What do you think, mon ami? Anything?"

"Yes, Tyler. Look at this," the dog said, pulling away a shard of pottery, exposing wires on a tiny device the size of a nail head, attached to a piece of fabric.

"What do you have, boy?" Agent Smartt picked up Tibido's finding and rotated it to inspect every angle.

What would cause the world's most wanted fugitive to leave the secure sanctuary of his secret fortress in Dagestan?

FBI operatives believe that Murk is interested in a rare, red diamond ring, worn by the late Contessa Mona Aurora Rivella. She bequeathed it to her granddaughter, Countess Maria Sophie Guiterrez. For reasons unspoken, the young woman wants it as far away as possible.

The exquisite 60-carat Rivella red diamond, unmatched in beauty, is valued at two million dollars per carat. When the Countess gifts it to a small Washington gallery, the transaction draws worldwide attention. Days after it goes on display, strange and terrifying events occur there. The FBI gets involved after Murk is seen exiting the museum following a predawn break-in and assault.
