Colorado rancher and tribal investigator Charlie Moon is taking a night off to play some poker with his best friend, Scott Parris, Granite Creek's chief of police, when Scott's dispatcher cuts in with an emergency call. It seems a man was on the phone with his wife when their call was interrupted by a bloodcurdling scream and the most gruesome noises he'd ever heard. Would they mind checking it out? Arriving on scene, they discover that the man's...

Charlie tries to talk his little sister, Lola, out of wearing her alligator costume all of the time.

When his friend, a former member of an elite assassin organization, is abducted by a vengeful adversary, Charlie Parker and his associates set out to find him, in a case that forces Charlie to test the boundaries of his ethics.

Lola and Lotta think it's funny to call Charlie and Marv for help when they don't really need it, but when Caspar the cat gets stuck in a tree, their game backfires on them when the boys ignore their cries for help.

Stripped of his private investigator's license, Charlie Parker takes a job tending bar in Portland, Maine. Alone and directionless, he faces at last a shadow he has lived with since his childhood: what made his father, a respected police officer, apparently shoot dead two unarmed teens and then commit suicide. His quest leads him back to the little New York town where he grew up, to the secret history of the NYPD, and to the existence of mysterious...

Charlie has a little sister, Lola. Lola has the hiccups. They just won't go away. But Lola and Lotta have to perform at the school concert. Lola says, "How am I going to sing my song if I'm hiccuping all the time?" And Charlie says, "Hmm ... I've got an idea!"

"On the border between Maine and Canada, a dangerous smuggling operation is taking place. Drugs, cash, weapons, even people-- and something ancient and powerful and evil..."

While Charlie, a sleepy basset hound, tells about the busy life of a ranch dog, his best friend Suzie, a Jack Russell terrier, is getting the work done.

Lola and Lotta are best friends who do everything together but when Evie, a new girl, joins the class, suddenly it's Evie whom Lotta does everything with, and Lola fears she has lost her best friend forever.

Twelve-year-old Charlie's analytical skills win him few friends at school, but when the most popular girl in class comes to the makeshift private investigation office in his parent's garage asking Charlie's help to find her missing bird, he and friend Henry begin their first real case.
