THE NOVEL THAT STARTED IT ALL!
Charged with investigating crime among the stars, the Worlds Welfare Work Association is proud of its reputation for safety and regard for life and property. Try telling that to WWWA Agents Kei and Yuri, codename "the Lovely Angels," whoβbecause of their penchant for destructionβare better known as the Dirty Pair. If the Dirty Pair are called in two things are certain: theyβll catch the bad guy but you may not live to tell about it!
In βThe Great Adventure of the Dirty Pair" Kei and Yuri are summoned to the planet Dangle when the Gravas Heavy Industries facility is destroyed under mysterious circumstances. But what seems like a simple explosion is masking a far more insidious agenda. Then, in βThe Case of the Backwoods Murder,β a simple murder investigation on the secluded pleasure planet Lamier is complicated when Yuri runs into two childhood friends, one of them a handsome adventurer named Thunder who captures Keiβs heart. But what is the secret connection between Thunder and the murder victim?
