Island P.I. 

Caught in a hail of bullets, Ram and Chief are in a desperate fight for their lives. Who will prevail? Madame Zeline and her bloodthirsty henchmen, or the good guys at Island P.I., who are, as usual, in way over their heads?

Island P.I. #2: An Eye for an Eye

With Ram down for the count, Chief is on her own to take down Madame Zeline — and prevent a full-on gang war from decimating Island City. Armed with only her wits, does she have what it takes to make it out on top?

Island P.I. #3: Welcome to Island City

When the world's richest man contacts the Island P.I. team, they don't know quite what to expect — but whatever they thought, it can't prepare them for the reality. Taking on a case that involves evil genius twins, the city's most deadly drug cartel (The Syndicate), and quite possibly the end of the world, Ram, Chief and VAN find themselves in over their heads almost from the jump.

Island P.I. #4: My Brother's Keeper

Chief leaves Ram behind to deal with Eddie and his gang war while she investigates what his twin, Freddie, is up to — in space. As the body count rises back in Island City, the accumulated effects of the last two cases start to catch up to Ram. And where the hell is VAN? Will the gang be able to stop whatever the Fontaines are planning?
