A crow is an old term referring to a security guard. In the 1930s there were a lot of incidents involving citizens acting as security guards, and many were passing themselves off as policemen. To clear up the confusion, the city fathers in Capitol City enacted a city wide uniform dress code. So that security guards would not be mistaken for the real police dressed in blue, they were mandated to wear all black uniforms. Because they dressed in black, the security guards became known as crows, and are still known as crows even though the dress code was rescinded long ago. Now an evil entity is targeting the security guards. The shorthanded homicide squad has enlisted the help of veteran street cops Griffith (Zoo) Park and Kevin (Jinx) Jenks. Together they work to solve The Murder of Crows
