The third detective story by French writer Jean-Claude Mourlevat, winner of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, in Slovak, takes readers back to a land where animals walk upright, talk, wear clothes, drive snow plows, listen to the radio at night, and fight recklessness and stupidity primarily with the power of friendship and humor.

That morning, there is an incredible silence in the house of Jefferson the hedgehog, an excellent geography student and occasional detective. The animal kingdom is completely covered in snow. And it is under the snow, in front of the garage of his faithful friend Gilbert the pig, that their next big case begins.
